Namibia Form

Namibia have lost their four AFCON qualifiers so far. Their hopes of qualifying have already been ended.

After losing 5-0 in the COSAFA Cup to Angola in Jukly, they began AFCON qualifying with a 1-0 home loss to Cameroon. A 2-1 loss at home to Kenya preceded two losses to Zimbabwe.

They lost 1-0 and 3-1 in those defeats, with both matches played in South Africa. They have since lost in CHAN qualifying but that came with a second-string squad and has no bearing here.
