Lesotho Football Association’s (LeFA) spokesperson, Mikia Kalati, said the preparation match will be played at Bambatha Tšita Sports Arena.
But he said Likuena would play its official matches in South Africa due to the unavailability of Setsoto Stadium, which has been suspended from hosting international matches by the Confederation African of Football (CAF).
Kalati said the match can be attended free of charge, and will therefore be a good opportunity for supporters to see their national team in live action having last played in the country in 2021.
