SIHLANGU LEAVE FOR ANGOLA

MBABANE – Sihlangu, the Eswatini’s national football team, is scheduled to depart for Angola today for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Notably, Richards Bay’s Justice Figuareido will be absent from the Dominic-led squad.

National team interim Coach Dominic Kunene confirmed that he would not replace Figuareido. Eswatini face off with Angola on Friday at the 48 000-seater 11 November Stadium in Luanda, with the kick-off scheduled for 4pm, local time. This coincides with Figuareido’s team’s play-off, commencing today, where Richards Bay will host Pretoria University at the King Zwelithini Stadium at 3pm.

Figa’s team will have their second game on Saturday against Baroka at the old Peter Mokaba Stadium, with kick-off at 3pm. Following this, Figuareido’s team will play against Pretoria University on June 15 and conclude the play-offs by facing Baroka at home on June 19.
