After a period of absence, Alfonso Amade, who is currently without a club, and Clésio Bauque, a player for Al Arabi of the United Arab Emirates, are back on the squad list. Both bring experience and quality to the national team's midfield and attack, which is seen as an important reinforcement for the decisive double-header against Eswatini. Coach Chiquinho Conde continues to rely on a mix of youth and veteran players, aiming to ensure the Mambas' qualification for the AFCON.

On the other hand, the absence of Kadre, who is still seeking his first call-up after becoming a naturalized citizen, continues to raise questions among fans. Kadre, named the best player in the first half of the Moçambola season, will still have to wait for other occasions to see his name on the squad list. The coach did not provide details about the reasons for his exclusion.

Preparation for the double-header against Eswatini
The double-header against Eswatini, scheduled for the 11th and 14th of next month, will be decisive for Mozambique's aspirations of securing a spot in the next African Nations Championship. The first game will be played away from home, while the second will take place in Mozambique.
