South Sudan has included NEC FC defender Joseph Dhata in their squad for the friendly against Eritrea on February 20.
South Sudan will use the friendly to fine tune its squad ahead of the 2027 AFCON Qualifiers.
The right-back who extended his stay last year at NEC until 2028, will hope to help his side achieve the AFCON dream.
He featured prominently in the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers despite the side finishing bottom of Group K with just three points.
Former UPL players Rashid Okocha and Geriga Atendele, currently at Jamus FC, are also part of Nicholas Dupuis’ provisional squad.
South Sudan are pitted against Djibouti in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualification preliminary round, with ties due next month.
