Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>National Under-23 head coach Sifiso \u2018Nuro\u2019 Ntibane has called five National Under-20 players for the TotalEnergies Under-23 qualifiers against Egypt scheduled for Sunday at Somhlolo National Stadium.<\/b><\/p>\n

The players are Philiso Siphepho, Bongumusa Fakudze, Kelvin Kunene, Yenzi Khumalo and Sinenkhosi Dlamini.<\/p>\n

The players were very instrumental in the COSAFA under-20 tournament that was recently hosted in the country where the Eswatini side was booted out at the group stages of the competition.<\/p>\n

A source close to the matter revealed that the players have been included in the Under-23 squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive national Under-20 players have been added in the Under-23 squad as part of the Eswatini Football Association\u2019s plan to have transition in the junior squads,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Eswatini Football Association Chief Executive Officer Frederick Mngomezulu could neither agree nor deny the latest when sought for comment.<\/p>\n

\u201c I can\u2019t pre-empt anything at the moment until the Under-23 coaches announce the final squad for the Egypt clash.<\/p>\n

There is a possibility that some of the National Under-20 players could be part of the Under-23 squad,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Nuro\u2019 Ntibane-led troops will be looking to continue with their winning ways, having beaten Botswana in the first round of the qualifiers.<\/p>\n
