Wise Lifasi Earns First Senior National Team Call-Up for World Cup Qualifiers. Julinho Sporting FC striker Wise Lifasi has been named in the senior national team squad for the first time, securing a call-up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The 22-year-old forward, originally from Sifuha village in the Kalimbeza area, has been in impressive form this season. He currently sits second on the league’s top scorers list with four goals, trailing only Mbakondja and Salazar.
Lifasi’s football journey started at Blue Chiefs before he progressed through the ranks. In 2023, he transitioned from Rocano Rangers, a Second Division club in Katima Mulilo, to Life Fighters FC. His performances there earned him a move to Julinho Sporting FC, where he has continued to develop as a key attacking player.
His recent goal-scoring run has now led to his first senior national team selection, a significant milestone in his career. Further details on the team’s preparations and upcoming fixtures will be announced as Namibia gears up for the qualifiers.
