The national football team of Mozambique will return to training on Tuesday for the second preparation session ahead of their match against Ethiopia on Friday. The team’s primary objective is to secure a victory as swiftly as possible to clarify their qualification prospects in what has been an unusual campaign, with the Mambas set to play all their remaining matches away from home.
This means that the upcoming fixture will be the last for this campaign at the Estádio Nacional do Zimpeto, and the players are determined to bring joy to the Mozambican supporters.
Players are expressing confidence in their chances for victory in Friday’s match, for which tickets are already on sale at usual outlets.
Gervásio de Jesus, the Vice-President of Marketing and Public Relations at the Mozambique Football Federation (FMF), has drawn attention to a recent spike in ticket counterfeiting. He stated that from Friday onwards, tighter security measures will be implemented.
The turnstiles at the Estádio Nacional do Zimpeto will be operational, and the system is designed to reject counterfeit tickets.
De Jesus also discussed the security measures being adopted for this crucial match, which marks the last home game for the Mambas in their qualification campaign for the CAN 2027.
