MAMBA FACE TOUGH INTERLADIES TEST IN INGWENYAMA CUP
MBABANE – Will Green Mamba’s star-studded squad overcome a determined AS Interladies side when the two teams clash head-on later today at the Lobamba Technical Centre? This question will be answered after the highly-anticipated match, which is part of the exciting Ingwenyama Cup Ladies competition, and it promises to be a real battle.
Green Mamba, the Correctional Services ladies team, are making their debut in the tournament as they are part of the seeded teams. Coached by former national team Sihlangu set-piece specialist, Maxwell ‘King Dunga’ Zikalala, they received a bye in the preliminary round due to their seeding. However, they face a stiff challenge in an AS Interladies team riding high after dispatching rookies Sidwashini United 2-0 in their opening match.
Encounter
The two sides’ form in the Eswatini Women’s Football League (EWFL) adds another layer of intrigue to the encounter. Green Mamba, currently outside the top four, have amassed 11 points, while Interladies sit just behind them with nine. This suggests a closely contested game, with both teams eager to prove their mettle. A key factor in the match could be the availability of Green Mamba’s seven players currently in camp with the national side, Sitsebe.
Crucial
These players are preparing for the crucial 2026 TotalEnergies Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Qualifiers, with their first leg against Namibia taking place this Friday at the Somhlolo National Stadium. Will the Nonhle Simelane-captained side have their national stars available for this crucial Ingwenyama Cup tie? Their presence would undoubtedly boost Green Mamba’s chances of halting Interladies’ impressive run in the Sincephetelo Motor Vehicle Accidents Fund (SMVAF)-sponsored competition. This match will be preceded by another mouth-watering clash between second-placed Nsingizini Hotspurs against Mbekelweni Ladies at noon.
