Lesotho have been runners-up in the Cosafa Castle Cup, reaching the final six years ago when they lost to Zimbabwe. The progress of Likoena to the deciding tie shook up the competition and proved that the playing fields of the southern African had been leveled by the so-called minnows of the region. But since their appearance at the finals, Lesotho have not won a game in the Cosafa Castle Cup, beaten by Zambia and Mozambique in 2001 and 2002 respectively and then being pipped on post-match penalties by the Mozambicans in 2003 and Botswana in 2004. They were beaten 11-10 by Botswana in a incredible shootout in Maseru. In 2006 they drew with Mozambique and then won on penalties but lost their group final at home to Angola.
