NPFL: Tornadoes goalkeeper Kolimba earns call-up for CAR AFCON 2027 qualifiers

Niger Tornadoes goalkeeper Alladoum Francis Kolimba has been called up to the Central African Republic national team for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Benin Republic, DAILY POST reports.

Kolimba is expected to link up with the national team this weekend.

The Central African Republic will face Benin on Thursday November 12 and Monday November 16.

The invitation marks another milestone in the experienced shot-stopper’s international career.

His temporary absence will be a setback for Niger Tornadoes as they look to improve on their position on the league table.

Niger Tornadoes occupy eighth position on the league table with 16 points.

They will be up against Bendel Insurance in a week 12 encounter in Benin City on Sunday.
