They will face Gabon this evening in the first leg of the WAFCON first-round qualifiers at Stade de Franceville. Speaking to Mmegi Sport from Franceville, the head coach of the Mares, Mohambi Saulos, refrained from divulging many details but shared that the Mares faced difficulties upon their arrival in the Central African state.

He stated that upon their arrival at the airport on Tuesday, they discovered that the match venue had been relocated from the capital city, Libreville, to Franceville, which was over 500 kilometres away.
