A win for Botswana against the Falcons, who were lackluster against South Africa, would guarantee qualification into the quarter-finals.

And looking ahead to the match, Letshwiti called on his compatriots to rally behind the team believing they can achieve the impossible.

Let me congratulate The Mares for putting an excellent shift at work, defeating Burundi by a convincing 4 – 2 score line at the ongoing Wafcon Tournament here in Morocco,” Letshwiti said in a post published in Botswana FA’s Facebook page.

“The Ladies’ thrilling performances (against Burundi) demonstrated beyond doubt that together we can achieve. I therefore humbly urge the Ladies to continue to show their mettle against the best in Africa.
