Since 2022, Hernâni has emerged as one of the country's best goalkeepers, winning multiple national titles. Under the guidance of coach Chiquinho Conde, he has been a reliable choice in goal for the national team, demonstrating consistency and exceptional skill.
In 2022, Hernâni shone by leading União Desportiva do Songo to the national championship title, a feat that earned him the opportunity to represent Mozambique in the 2023 African Champions League. He also won the Mário Coluna Estêvão Cup, further cementing his reputation. His performance was crucial in Mozambique's return to the African Cup of Nations (AFC) after 13 years, where he was one of the most frequently used goalkeepers.
Currently, Hernâni defends the Black Bulls' goal, where he quickly established himself as a starter. This year, he added another Mário Coluna Estêvão Cup title to his resume. Now, he's preparing to represent Mozambique in the Nelson Mandela Cup, a prestigious competition on the African continent.
With matches against Somalia and Guinea-Conakry approaching, Chiquinho Conde's confidence in Hernâni remains unshakeable. Mozambican fans have reason to be optimistic and ready to support not only Hernâni but all 23 players called up.
Next Friday, the 7th, all roads lead to the Zimpeto National Stadium. It's an opportunity for fans to demonstrate their unconditional support for the national team, demonstrating that, united, we are all Mozambique, we are all Mambas. With Hernâni Siluane in goal, the Mambas hope to strengthen their qualification chances and continue to inspire national pride with every save and every game.
