The national Under-23 squad has called on Batswana to rally behind them during the Olympic Games qualifier against Tunisia at the National Stadium tomorrow night. The Young Zebras have a high chance of qualifying for the group stages after holding the Tunisians to a goalless draw in Tunis on February 7.

The team meets Tunisia after a historic elimination of Angola from the qualifiers of the All African Games about two weeks ago.

Young Zebras' goalkeeper, Noah Maposa, told Mmegi Sport yesterday that the presence of supporters would motivate them to outwit their more experienced opponents. "It is important that supporters come in numbers. That will motivate us to go for glory because it would be embarrassing to lose on home soil. It won't be an easy game but we'll go all out to fight," he said.  Maposa said that people should not be misled into believing that it will be an easy passage to the next round since they held the Tunisians to a 0-0 draw away. He said the North Africans are experienced and must be treated with respect.
