Ferroviário da Beira, the national champions, arrived in Pretoria last night to face Mbabane Swallows of the Comoros Islands in the first leg of the first qualifying round of the African Champions League.
Before traveling to South Africa, the team held their final training session at Costa do Sol's training ground in Maputo. Coach Daúto Faquirá expressed confidence in the team's preparation, highlighting the importance of maintaining the good performance from recent matches.
“Respecting our opponent, we will try to be successful in this first game. We will play as we have been playing in the last 5 or 6 games. The team has shown a positive attitude, respecting the opponent, but without altering our style of play,” said Daúto.
Ferroviário da Beira still has one more training session scheduled for today in Pretoria, before tomorrow's match. The team is looking for a favorable result away from home to improve their lead in the second leg, which will be played in Mozambique.
The game is scheduled for tomorrow and promises to be an important challenge for the "locomotives," who hope to repeat the good performance shown in previous competitions.
