Galaxy, who will clash with Orlando Pirates in the second round of the African Champions League in mid-September, have nine players in the 35-man squad named by coach Didier Gomes da Rosa to take on Mauritania away on Saturday, September 7 and then host Egypt at home in Francistown three days later.

There are four foreign-based players in the selection, including captain Thatayaone Ditlhokwe from Kaizer Chiefs.

Ronaldo Fortune, who plays in the lower tiers in the United States, has received a first call-up. The 26-year-old played at under-20 level for Botswana before going on a soccer scholarship to the University of Mobile in Alabama.

The squad also includes experienced goalkeeper Kabelo Dambe, who previously played in South Africa at the now-defunct Platinum Stars and Bloemfontein Celtic.
