The Eritrean national football team played its first match in approximately seven years and immediately caused a major surprise by defeating the Eswatini national team 2-0.
İdman.Biz reports that several interesting facts have attracted attention around this game of the team, which has not played since 2020 and is returning to the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after 19 years. Namely, the national team's head coach was appointed just two weeks ago. The team's roster mainly consists of players from Europe and Australia. In addition, the match was held in Morocco due to the lack of a suitable stadium in the country.
