WINDHOEK, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- Namibia's Brave Warriors will host Zambia at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in a soccer friendly, in honor of the country's President Hage Geingob scheduled to take place on November 9.

Minister of Youth and Sports Erastus Uutoni said the cup, which is in its sixth edition, represents great hope for Namibia in their quest for international dominance.

"This achievement obviously demonstrates the intensity of the Hage Geingob Cup and the effect it has on both playing and technical staff. One can therefore proudly say that this cup has met its continental objective of exporting local talent into other avenues," he said.

In the last edition, Namibia won 4-2 on penalties against Ghana, after a 1-1 stalemate at full time.
