The revelation of the final squad that will don the national colors during the upcoming tournament, scheduled to unfold in Ivory Coast from January 13 to February 11, 2024. The Mambas, under the astute guidance of Coach Francisco Chiquinho Condé, have summoned a formidable roster of 23 players poised to make a lasting impact on the continental stage.
Notably, Atlético Madrid’s steadfast defender, Reinildo, stands among the distinguished names gracing Mozambique’s footballing constellation for this biennial competition.

The goalkeeping trio of Ernan Siluane, Fasistencio Joao, and Ivane Urrbal exemplify the depth in the squad, while defensive stalwarts like Bruno Langa and Edmilson Dove provide a robust foundation.
In the midfield, the creative prowess of players like Joao Bonde and Ricardo Guimaraes adds a dynamic dimension, offering strategic depth to the Mambas’ gameplay.
The forward line, featuring seasoned campaigners like Elias Pelembe and rising stars like Gildo Vilanculos, embodies the attacking flair that Mozambique aims to showcase on the grand continental stage.
