Brave Warriors coach confident despite loss

The coach of the Brave Warriors, Collin Benjamin, has expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance against Equatorial Guinea despite not earning any points.
His focus is now on their upcoming match tomorrow.
The 2026 (FIFA) African World Cup qualifiers kicked off last week, with Namibia having their opening match away from home against Equatorial Guinea. Namibia is drawn in Group H, along with Equatorial Guinea, Tunisia, Malawi, Liberia, and São Tomé and Príncipe.
In their opening match of the campaign on 15 November 2023, in Equatorial Guinea, the Namibian team lost by a single goal, placing them fifth with zero points in the group of six teams.
In an interview with Nampa, Benjamin said their opening match of the World Cup qualifying campaign started well, with players displaying commitment and discipline.
The coach also acknowledged, however, that the team had some negatives in their opening match, such as conceding the goal and allowing too many set-pieces in their last half. However, he is happy with the mental wellness of his players, and said losing the game would not hamper their targets going forward.
