The Brave Warriors left for Monrovia on Monday afternoon for their crucial 2013 AFCON qualifier against Liberia on Wednesday, 29 February.

The final of 19 players includes the South African quarter of Orlando Pirates midfielder Rudolf Bester, Amazulu striker Tangeni Shipahu, Jomo Cosmos midfielder Lazarus Kaimbi and African Warriors goalkeeper Ephraim Tjihonge.

Black Afrcia goal-minder Arnold Subeb kept his place in the team, while the notable absentee will be Blue Waters winger Hendrick Somaeb.

Namibia’s local based players impressed when they beat Mozambique 3-0 last Thursday and confidence should be high at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium in Monrovia.

NFA Vice President Cornelius Kapenda will be head of delegation, while coach Bernard Kaanjuka will be assisted by Ricardo Mannetti.

Arnold Subeb, Ephraim Tjihonge, Da Costa Angula, Willem Mwedihanga, Jamu Ngatjizeko, Larry Horaeb, Steven Sabatha, Ronald Ketjijere, Denzil Hoaseb, Eslin Kamuhanga, Willy Stephanus, Bryan Bantam, Petrus Shitembi, Heini Isaacks, Rudolf Bester, Lazarus Kaimbi, Sadney Urikhob, Benson Shilongo and Tangeni Shipahu
