The action continues in Group H of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers as Namibia play host to Equatorial Guinea on Monday. Collin Benjamin’s men have enjoyed an unbeaten campaign so far and will be looking to move top of the table with all three points at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
Namibia returned to action in the World Cup qualifiers on a high as they held on to see out a 1-0 victory over Malawi at the Bingu National Stadium last Thursday.
Benjamin’s side had failed to win their previous seven outings across all competitions, claiming two draws and losing five, including a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Angola in the 2024 COSAFA Cup final.
Namibia have picked up three wins and two draws from their five World Cup qualifying matches so far to collect 11 points and sit second in Group H, two points behind first-placed Tunisia.

Equatorial Guinea, meanwhile, secured three huge points in their quest for a World Cup ticket as they edged out Sao Tome and Principe 2-0 at the Nuevo Estadio de Malabo on Friday.
Before that, Juan Micha’s men were on a four-game winless run — losing twice and claiming two draws — a run which saw them fail to reach the 2025 African Nations Championship following a 2-1 aggregate defeat against Congo in the playoffs.
Equatorial Guinea have picked up two wins and lost three of their five matches in Group H to sit fifth in the standings, level on points with fourth-placed Malawi.
