Under-20 provisional squad announced
Players urged to turn up for training
James Britz has called up a provisional squad of players set to report for duty tomorrow.
Namibian national under-20 soccer team head coach James Britz announced a provisional squad of 40 players for the 2022 Cosafa Challenge Cup, slated for 6 to 16 October in Eswatini.
Britz, assistant coach Jeremy Zimmer and goalkeeper coach Ephraim Tjihonge attended The Namibian Newspaper Cup to scout for players maturing from the various Governor’s Cups held countrywide and those exhibited as part of their regional teams in the competition's 20th edition.
The scouts searched for young talent, endurance, agility and skill in players who are able to dribble opponents, play one-twos, shield and supply balls from the midfield to strikers who can target an opportunistic spot at goal and score, Britz said.
“I want players who are hungry to learn, players who have some ability with the ball, in all departments of the game. I’m big on development. We have carefully and deliberately selected players who want to play for Namibia, compete at high levels of international football with big and fearless hearts to win."
The following players are urged to report at Football House tomorrow:
Goalkeepers: Karere Damaseb, Tshiamiso Pieters, Nelly Rooi, Becksen Sibeso.
Defenders: Gustaf Kaeka, Kavehungua Kavita, Usher Uazenga, Arnold Tjivera, Hermanus Pofadder, Ritatumisa Gertze, Rouein Tjihumba, Alex Mumbango, Mark Adams, Erastus Josef, Toromba Tuzuvirua, Neville Kasoana, Romanus Esterhuizen and Santos Sibolile.
Midfielders: Josef Iipumbu, Alberto Goagoseb, Lawrence Doeseb, Sakaria Samuel, Raymonzo Stern, Rewaldo Prince, Eugene Fredericks, Kalaluka Kalumbekwa, Silas Shawapala, Giovanni Gaingob, Alberto van Wyk, Romeo Amon, Xavier McClune, Zander McClune, Denzel Umati, Herman Uwuseb and Feka Mwilima.
