In two weeks, the intense preparation of the Mambas, the Mozambican national football team, will begin, aiming for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN), scheduled to take place between January 13 and February 11, 2024, in Ivory Coast. National Coach Chiquinho Conde has already outlined a work plan, submitted to the Mozambican Football Federation's management, which is awaiting approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a challenging context, Chiquinho Conde faces the need to call up players for the initial training phase, especially those who play in the Mo\u00e7ambola league, due to the off-season and the recent end of the competition. The coach expressed his concern about the lack of competitive rhythm among the local players, highlighting the importance of starting the work with a group of twelve athletes from the Mo\u00e7ambola league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chiquinho Conde, after watching the Mozambique Cup Final, revealed that he already has the list of pre-selected players for the preparation for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Mozambique is in Group B of the competition and will face Cape Verde, Ghana and Egypt in the group stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the strategies revealed by the coach is the possible naturalization of players to strengthen the team, mitigating the lack of match fitness of some local athletes. Chiquinho Conde emphasizes the need for careful evaluation, stating that quality and nationality should be essential criteria for selection. The coach stressed the importance of carefully observing and analyzing players before making decisions regarding naturalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The president of the Mozambican Football Federation, Faizal Sidat, announced that the Mambas will travel to Abidjan, the capital of Ivory Coast, on January 2nd for a training camp prior to the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The challenge of competing in January, after the recent conclusion of the Mo\u00e7ambola league, is evident, and the strategy of calling up athletes from the local championship for the initial training phase highlights the need for rapid adaptation and preparation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
