Namibian football has been going through a torrid time over the last years, slipping from the heady heights attained in 1997 and 1999 when they were Cosafa Castle Cup runners-up and in 1998 when they shocked African football by reaching the African Nations Cup finals in Burkina Faso. In the last six Cosafa Castle Cup competitions, Namibia have been knocked out at the first hurdle of the tournament, losing to Zimbabwe, Mauritius, Swaziland, Botswana, Angola and Botswana again in 2005. The Brave Warriors were the surprise package of the 1997 edition, finishing second to winners Zambia and in 1998 caused a major upset by knocking out World Cup finalists South Africa at the preliminary round stage. In 1999, they were again in the final, and narrowly lost to Angola in extra-time in the second leg in Windhoek. The team reached a high of 68th place in the FIFA world rankings in 1998 but have dropped right down to 161 at the start of 2006.
