Zebras coach, Didier Gomes da Rosa says his team is still very much in the race to qualify for the 2026 World Cup after the side returned to winning ways yesterday, defeating Somalia 3-1 in Maputo, Mozambique.

With four matches played, Botswana sits third with six out of a possible 12. The Zebras trail joint leaders Algeria and Mozambique by three points with six games remaining.

“We are very committed and we fight for the same target. Today we have six points in the World Cup qualifiers, which is really not bad. So, we are still in the race and it was really important for us to win this game,” da Rosa said.
