The National Football Selector, Chiquinho Conde, made today the pre-selection of the Mambas players for the matches against the national teams of Rwanda and Benin, which will take place between 02 and 08 June, qualifying for the 34th edition of the African Nations Championship (CAN).

Conde has three goalkeepers, 12 defenders, nine midfielders and 11 forwards. The first test will be next Tuesday (24th), when the national team will face Eswatini, at the Black Bulls Association field, in a private match. After this game the final squad for the two matches will be known.

Goalkeeper: Renan Siluane (UDS), Ivane Urrubal (ABB), Victor Guambe (Costa do Sol).

Maputo), Zainadine Júnior (CS Marítimo), Edson "Mexer" Sitoe (FC Bordeaux), Martinho Thauzene (ABB), Alberto Alface (CFB).

The "Mambas" will host the Rwandans, at 18h00, on June 2nd, at the FNB Stadium, in Johannesburg, in neighboring South Africa, due to the fact that the National Stadium of Zimpeto has been unavailable since its banning by CAF in September last year, for not meeting conditions.

The meeting with Benin will be at the same time, and the "Mambas" should leave South Africa directly for Cotonou on June 5.
