AFCON 2027: Lesotho FA reinforces national team technical bench – Africa Top Sports

The leadership of the Lesotho Football Association has reinforced the technical team of the national teams by adding Matlama Head Coach Thabile Secker, Majantja Head Coach Bafokeng Mohapi, and Goalkeeper Coach Liteboho Mokhesi.

Secker and Mokhesi have started with immediate effect, joining the Likuena technical team as Assistant Coach and Goalkeeper Coach respectively.

Mohapi will join LeFA after the CAF U-20 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers, which will be played in Mozambique this month, where he will take over as Makoanyane XI Head Coach. The current Head Coach, Makepe Motolo, will focus on his role as Likuena Assistant Coach.

Meanwhile, the Lesotho Football Association, in partnership with DIFA Mokhotlong, will host a Gala Dinner on Saturday, 03 October 2026. The aim of the dinner is to raise funds for the purchase and laying of lawn at one community ground in Mokhotlong. This initiative marks the first of many that the Lesotho Football Association will undertake across the country.

The goal is to ensure that Lesotho has quality football facilities that will help improve the standard of football and support the development of quality players. LeFA calls on all corporate partners to support this initiative by purchasing a table for ten people at M10,000.

Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Teele Nts’onyana, Project Coordinator in the LeFA President’s Office, said he is humbled by the excitement the project has already generated among football stakeholders in Mokhotlong.

He further called on all businesses, especially those operating in Mokhotlong, to come on board and contribute to the development of football.

“We appreciate the willingness and support that we have already received from all stakeholders of the game in Mokhotlong,” said the Likuena legend.

“The plan is to roll out this kind of initiative in all districts because we are all aware of the challenges facing our football, especially the lack of facilities to develop quality footballers.”
