Mozambique’s national football team, the Mambas, will play Uganda tomorrow (20-03) in a FIFA World Cup 2026 qualifier match at Cairo International Stadium in Egypt.

The Mambas are holding their final training session this Wednesday at the Guard Arena in the hotel where they are staying.

Defender Edmilson Dove, from South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs, and midfielder Shaquile, from Angola’s Sagrada Esperança, arrived in the Egyptian capital on Tuesday to complete Chiquinho Conde’s squad for the two matches ahead (te second being against Alegria, on Tuesday, March 25).

Meanwhile, the most part of the Mozambican delegation, made up of the technical team, staff and athletes, had arrived in the Egyptian capital on Monday morning.

Mozambique skipper Dominguez in hot water with coach

National coach Chiquinho Conde blamed the absence of captain Dominguez (Elias Pelembe) on bureaucratic issues, and of Mexer Sitóe on injury. To fill the gap, the coach called on Melque Alexandre to reinforce the team.

Gabonese Pierre Ghislain Atcho is the main referee appointed by CAF to officiate the match between Mozambique and Uganda and will have his compatriot Boris Marlaise Ditsoga and Cameroonian Carine Atezambong Fomo as assistants. Fleury Moukagni is the fourth referee.

Here’s the Mozambique 🇲🇿 squad for #WCQ this month!

No new faces. We were curious to see if Bruno Wilson (San Jose 🇺🇸) would make it but no. Second time that’s happened.

Kélvio Neves could debut.

41-year old Elias Pelembe still around.
