Mogae Confident Ahead Of Cameroon Game

Despite travelling to West Africa for their last qualifier of the 2008 Olympic Games with a depleted squad, Under-23 coach Kenneth Mogae is confident that his side can come back with a positive result.

 The national Under-23 side play Cameroon in Yaounde tomorrow night but a win for the Young Zebras will not make any difference as the hosts have already booked a ticket to the Beijing Games.

Football pundits say the game is of no significance, but Mogae disagrees. "It is wrong for people to say the game is of no importance. It must be realised that five years ago, most people were not taking our football seriously but with the current developments in Botswana, things have changed." Mogae said winning in Yaounde will help improve Botswana's FIFA rankings and might not play the preliminary games in the qualifiers for the 2012 Olympic Games.
