The Somalia national football team is set for a high-stakes clash tonight against Botswana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup African qualifiers. The match will take place at Francistown Stadium in Botswana, where Somalia hopes to secure a vital victory.
Speaking to the media ahead of the match, Somalia’s head coach Yuusuf Ali Nur (Yuu Ali) expressed strong confidence in his team’s ability to claim all three points.
“We’ve completed our final training session, and we are fully prepared to secure crucial points in tonight’s game against Botswana. Just as we achieved a positive result in our last match, we are determined to win tonight, Insha’Allah,” said Coach Yuu Ali.
Somalia’s team captain, Abdisalam Abdullahi, made an emotional appeal to Somali fans, urging them to rally behind the team in this critical fixture.
“We call on our Somali people to support us in tonight’s game against Botswana. Your encouragement is vital for us to achieve a great result,” he stated.
Somalia’s hopes remain high, especially if they can secure a win tonight. In their previous qualifier, they held Guinea to a 0-0 draw, showing defensive resilience. A victory against Botswana would be a significant step forward in their quest for World Cup qualification.
