They take over the reins from former Lesotho international-Lire Phiri, who was in charge of the team since May 2019.<\/p>\n<p>He welcomes the new challenge and is confident the experience gained coaching LDF Ladies team, where he\u00a0 won three successive Women\u2019s Super League titles will be very helpful in his assignment with Mehalalitoe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an honour for me to be given such a big task to coach the women\u2019s national team. I\u2019m very happy and also understand the responsibility that comes with it,\u201d Nkhasi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTime may not be on our side as far as the preparations for the tournament are concerned, but that should not be an excuse. We have to prepare the players for the task ahead and make them understand what it means to play for the national team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have selected a group of players that I think are hungry to succeed and also have the experience to do better than in the previous tournament. They have to understand the importance of donning the national team colours and representing their country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lesotho will be making a return to regional tournament after missing last year\u2019s edition held in Port Elizabeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Provisional squad: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Goalkeepers<\/strong>: Thuto Maifo (Motheo Ladies), Boitumelo Nkeane Grasslands Ladies, Sebolelo Mweza (LDF Ladies).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Defenders:<\/strong> Nkotso Mapota (Wits University), Mosili Mot\u0161oeneng (Bloemfontein Celtics), Phesolo Mafusi, Mamoruti Ntsiki, Ntsatsi Khakanyo, T\u0161oanelo Leboka, Lerato Kheme (all LDF).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Midfielders: <\/strong>Mosel Pita (LDF), Boitumelo Rabele (Lewis and Clark Community College, USA) Mat\u0161eliso Nt\u0161asa (LDF), Mabulara Mosoeu (LDF), Lerato Toloane (Nigol Ladies), Nt\u0161abeng Pelea (LDF), Palesa Mpeta (LDF), Maseriti Mohlolo (LDF), Bokang Matabane (LDF), Lerato Mphou (LDF), Molemo Mokhothu (Kick4Life).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strikers: <\/strong>Lit\u0161eoane Maloro (Bloemfontein Celtic), Nteboheleng Mohoshela (Kick4Life), Nthabeleng Potsane (LDF), Kholu Lebakeng (LDF), Mat\u0161eliso Makutoane (Basetsana), Senate Letsie (Lewis and Clark Community College, USA), Phuzile Molefe (LDF), Puseletso Jobo (Rovers Ladies).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lesotho Football Association has announced the appointed of Lehloenya Nkhasi as the new head-coach of their Senior Women\u2019s national team ahead of the upcoming COSAFA Championship to be staged in Nelson Mandela Bay from November 3\u00a0to 14.
