The National Football Team Coach, Chiquinho Conde, is immersed in preparing the Mambas for the important matches scheduled for June, valid for the third and fourth rounds of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. During his recent stay in Maxixe, Conde not only watched the Jogabets Super Cup game, but also took the opportunity to plan the next phase of the Mambas' campaign.
Following the absence of friendly matches during the last FIFA international break in March, Chiquinho Conde is dedicated to closely analyzing the players, both those playing domestically and those at foreign clubs, in order to assemble his squad for the matches against Somalia and Guinea. This meticulous preparation aims to ensure that the Mambas are at their best to face these crucial challenges on the road to the 2026 World Cup.
In addition to focusing on assembling the team, Conde also highlighted the importance of honoring the memory of the legendary Mozambican player, Mário Coluna, during his stay in Maxixe. His presence on the field for the Jogabets Super Cup not only demonstrates his commitment to preparing the national team, but also underscores his reverence for the legacy of Mozambican football.
For Conde, close observation of the players is fundamental, especially considering that the Mambas have been inactive since their participation in the African Cup of Nations earlier this year. The lack of international competition during the last FIFA window has been a limitation, but the coach is determined to make the best use of the available time to ensure the team is ready to face its opponents.
With the start of the Moçambola this week, Conde sees a valuable opportunity to assess the players' performance in competitive action. Although the athletes may not yet be at their peak physical condition, careful observation during the national championship games will allow Conde and his coaching staff to identify potential talents and evaluate the progress of existing players.
As Chiquinho Conde intensifies his efforts in preparing the Mambas for the upcoming challenges, the expectation and support from Mozambican fans only grows. With a firm commitment to honoring the legacy of national football and striving for excellence on the field, the Mambas are ready to face the challenges ahead and continue their path towards success on the international stage.
