Lusaka Dynamos midfielder Tiberius Lombard has been summoned by Namibia for their 2018 COSAFA Cup where they will face Zambia in the quarterfinals on June 2 in South Africa.
Lombard is one of eleven players in the team who also faced Zambia at the 2018 CHAN tournament in Morocco in a Group D match that finished 1-1 in Casablanca on January 21.
