2015 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers


English:Africa awaits to see whether the Zebras Botswana can punch above their own weight when they make their Africa Cup debut in January. When Botswana opened their Group K qualifiers with a 1-0 away win over 2004 African champions Tunisia, the triumph was akin to a one hit wonder. But everyone sat-up as Stan Tshosane's side went on to collect seven out of a possible nine points thereafter before completing a double over Tunisia in the return leg with another 1-0 win at home in Gaborone on November 17, 2010 on match-day-five. Botswana capped their fantastic ride qualifying in style with an unassailable 17 points with a game in hand only to lose 1-0 in the final and formality game away to Togo in October. Star striker Jerome Ramatlhakwana of Santos in South Africa inspired with five goals from eight Group K games and is expected to be Botswana’s key main man at the tournament. However, Tshosane is worried about Ramatlhakwana inactivity at Santos including the form of half of his starters who play for several South African PSL clubs with two and a half months before the Africa Cup kicks-off. Meanwhile, a befitting and rather belated Africa Cup entry awaits 33-year-old star striker Dipsy Selolwane of SuperSport United in South Africa after a decade-long service to the Zebra's cause.

Français:Le Botswana est une inconnue mais si cette équipe est là, c’est qu’elle le mérite. Pour sa toute première participation, ce petit Etat d'Afrique australe a fait appel à sept joueurs issus du championnat sud africain dont six joueurs de PSL. Premiers qualifiés sur le terrain dans le groupe K des éliminatoires, les Zebras auront fort à faire avec l’un des favoris le Ghana, mais également le Mali et la Guinée.
