Under the technical guidance of Maninho Loide, the national team carried out training that included specific exercises, such as attack with pressure and "man to man" defense, ending the work with an internal game, writes Angop.
However, the preparation will not stop there. The first training session is scheduled for this Tuesday on the pitch at Estádio 22 de Junho, where Thursday's match will take place.
Thursday's game is the first leg of the CAN 2026 (taking place in Morocco) qualifying round, while the second leg will be played on February 26 in South Africa.
