The Beninese national team is in Maputo. The Cheetahs arrived in the Mozambican capital on Thursday evening as part of the sixth round of qualifiers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Departing from Cotonou in the morning, the delegation landed at Maputo airport around 5 p.m.
The Cheetahs group, accompanied by officials, was then taken to the Afrin Prestige Hotel in Maputo after going through the usual formalities. On Friday, September 8, the team led by national coach Gernot Rohr will carry out the traditional pitch inspection at Estadio Nacional Do Zimpeto.
This session, scheduled for 1 p.m. GMT, will allow the Beninese team to familiarize themselves with the field before match day. As a reminder, the match is scheduled to take place on September 9, 2023, at Estadio Nacional do Zimpeto in Maputo at 1 p.m. GMT.
After being held to a draw by Senegal (1-1) in the previous round, the Cheetahs must secure a victory against the Mambas to secure their ticket to Ivory Coast.
Currently second in the standings after their convincing victory over Rwanda (2-0) last June, the Mozambique national team only needs a draw to secure their place in this African tournament.
