Lesotho head coach Leslie Notsi believes his side can qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup despite having some of Africa’s biggest teams in their group.
The Crocodiles are looking to make their first-ever appearance at the Mundial and currently occupy fourth position in Group C with five points from four games.
Rwanda, South Africa and Benin Republic are joint leaders in the group with seven points from the same number of matches.
Three-time African champions Super Eagles of Nigeria are in fifth position with three points but despite the quality of opposition in the group, Notsi is upbeat they can secure a place at the 2026 World Cup finals.
“We’re in a group with giants like Nigeria and South Africa, but we’ve shown we can hold our own,” Notsi told FIFA.com
“We’ve secured results against teams with far greater resources, including a 1-1 draw in Nigeria and a solid win over Zimbabwe.”
Lesotho will face South Africa and Rwanda when the World Cup qualifiers resume in March 2025.
