MBABANE– “I want to work my way back into Sihlangu long term; Nsingizini Hotspurs and Sihlangu Semnikati striker Neliso “Shaka” Myeni says.
Neliso Myeni has always dreamed of playing for the National team. His passion for football started at a young age, and he has been working hard to make his dream come true. Myeni’s dedication and hard work paid off when he received a call-up to play for the Sihlangu Semnikati in the AFCON Qualifiers against Cape Verde.
Although he did not get a chance to play in the first game, he was determined to make a name for himself in the second game – and that is exactly what he did. Neliso made his debut in a match against Botswana and scored his first-ever international goal for Eswatini in the 55th minute.
Despite the defeat, Neliso was happy to have played a crucial role in the national team. In an interview, he said, “I thank God that I played the first match for Sihlangu. I was a bit nervous, but I am glad I managed to secure a goal.”
Neliso is thrilled with his performance, and he credits his success to his hard work and dedication. He believes that he has what it takes to be an important asset to the team and help them achieve great things.
“My ultimate goal is to work my way back into Sihlangu long-term,” he said. “Playing for the National team is an honour, and I am grateful for the chance to represent my country.”
As he continues to work hard to achieve his dreams, Neliso is also thankful for his home team, Nsingizini Hotspurs, who have encouraged and supported him throughout his journey.
Neliso Myeni has certainly impressed the football fraternity in Eswatini with his performance and dedication to the sport. The future looks bright for this young and ambitious footballer who has set his sights tenaciously on building a long and successful career in football.
