ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN FOOTBALL - SITSEBE CAPTAIN
LOBAMBA - Seasoned Sitsebe forward Tenanile Ngcamphalala is confident ahead of the 2024 Hollywoodbets COSAFA Women’s Championships.
Ngcamphalala was speaking during a media day held at the Eswatini Football Association (EFA) Lobamba Technical Centre yesterday. “Despite not having enough time to train, we will compete. Anything can happen in football. The spirit inside camp is good and we are hoping to achieve good results,” Ngcamphalala said. Head Coach Bongani Makhu- khula expressed his confidence in his troops as they embark on this journey.
“We did not have enough time to train. The team only played two friendly matches against Mozambique. However, they are coming okay. Having 10 Young Buffaloes players will come in handy. Their match fitness after the Women’s Champions League will help as other players did not have time to train with league games having not started,” he said.
Train
Captain Nonhle Simelane shared the same sentiments. “It would have been great to train at least for a month. The games are tricky, but we will strive to work hard.
