Lesotho's national football team coach, Leslie Notsi, has admitted that the upcoming match on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, will be a tough one when they face the Rwanda national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Lesotho, also known as the ‘Crocodiles,’ lost to Rwanda 1-0 in a match on June 11, 2024, where Jojea Kwizera scored the only goal that secured the victory for Amavubi. Currently, Lesotho is preparing to avenge that defeat when they face Rwanda at Amahoro Stadium.

In a media interview, Notsi stated that they are ready to face a strong team at a high level.

Leslie Notsi said, “Rwanda leads the group and has performed well, defeating strong teams like South Africa and Nigeria in the AFCON qualifiers. It’s clear that this will be a tough match for us because we know it’s a big game. However, we are used to facing strong teams, so we will do our best to try and secure a victory.”

In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Rwanda currently sits in first place in Group C with seven points, while Lesotho is in fourth place with five points.

The match will be held at Amahoro Stadium, where Rwandans are expected to show their usual support for their team, as Amavubi aims to continue asserting themselves as a strong force in African football.

Amavubi is set to face Lesotho in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
