COSAFA Awards delayed due to stakeholders' unavailability The COSAFA Awards, honouring Southern Africa's top footballers, have been postponed due to scheduling issues.
The event has been rescheduled to the 9th of May. The Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA) has announced the postponement of their much-anticipated inaugural awards ceremony.
The Brave Warriors are gearing up for their match against Mali tomorrow in Group E of the Africa Cup of Nations 2023.
It is the last round of group matches at the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations. In Group E, Mali has already secured qualification to the round-of-16. However, South Africa, Namibia, and Tunisia await the results tomorrow as Tunisia takes on South Africa at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly stadium in Korhogo, while Namibia takes on Mali at the Laurent Pokou stadium in San Pedro.
The 2023 Confederation of African Football Awards is set to take place on the 11th of December in Marrakech, Morocco. Namibians Zentha Coleman and Peter Shalulile are representing the country with their nominations.
Earlier this month, CAF unveiled the 2023 nominees in the men's category. Bagging two nominations was Mamelodi Sundowns striker Peter Shalulile, who made it into the "Player of the year" and "Interclub player of the year" categories.
The Brave Warriors are currently in their final phase of preparation for their upcoming AFCON qualifiers match against Burundi, which will take place next week Tuesday in Tanzania. With the stadium in Burundi deemed unfit to host international matches, both teams will meet on neutral ground as they battle it out for a spot at the AFCRON 2024 tournament in Ivory Coast. Coach Collin Benjamin has expressed his satisfaction with how training has been progressing and stated that the team is fully aware of what's at stake.
