Mighty Wanderers are expected to leave the country for Mozambique this morning to compete in a three-team mini tournament on Sunday.
Another Super League side, Civil Service United, was also expected to be the fourth team at the competition but has failed to make the trip, citing ongoing internal structural adjustments as the reason for withdrawal.
UD Songo will host the competition at their Cahora Bassa base in Tete, Mozambique, on Sunday.
Civil’s withdrawal means the tournament will have Songo, Wanderers and Chingale de Tete as the teams to fight for glory.
Nomads Chief Executive Officer Panganeni Ndovi said they assembled a 26-member squad for the trip.
Ndovi said the tournament will help the players to gain exposure as they gear up for the Caf Confederation Cup.
“We will use this tournament to assess our players’ coordination. The teams we are facing are not ordinary. We also have to understand that in one way or the other, Mozambique’s league is more advanced than ours. We therefore expect to learn one or two things.
“With the hopes that this year we will play in the Caf Confederation Cup, this tournament will definitely give us the much needed exposure and create a good working relationship with the Mozambican clubs,” he said.
Another TNM Super League side, Creck Sporting Club, is also expected to go to Mozambique today for a two-day tournament in Lichinga.
But the club’s chairperson Muhammad Selemani said they will have a meeting on the matter.
“I will sit down with my fellow board members this afternoon [yesterday] so that we come up with a decision on the matter. But we had planned to leave on Friday [today]. We need to discuss the reports we are getting about the weather and the condition of the road to Lichinga. We hear things are not well that side due to bad weather. But we will come up with our final decision once we meet,” Selemani said.
