Lesotho on the cusp of maiden Afcon qualification

Lesotho is in the final push for a maiden appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament as they visit Cape Verde for Sunday’s match.

The small Southern African country needs a win in Praia and not to worry about the result from the East African derby between Tanzania and Uganda.

Uganda has already booked an Afcon ticket and the last qualification spot is between Lesotho, Tanzania and Cape Verde.

While winning away from home could be a difficult mission, Lesotho coach Moses Maliehe is bracing up the task at hand.
