Nees Unveils Warriors Squad for AFCON 2025 Qualifiers vs. Namibia
Warriors Head Coach Michael Nees has announced the squad for the upcoming AFCON 2025 Qualifiers, where Zimbabwe will face Namibia in back-to-back matches. Due to the lack of CAF-certified stadiums in both countries, the games will take place at Orlando Stadium in South Africa. The first match is scheduled for October 10 at 3 PM, followed by the return fixture four days later.
Captain Marvelous Nakamba returns to the team after injury, joined by Divine Lunga, who is also making a comeback. Terrence Dzvukamanja has been added to strengthen the forward line, while Martin Mapisa joins the goalkeeping department. Brendan Galloway is back to enhance defensive options.
The squad will gather for a training camp in Johannesburg starting Sunday, October 6. The selected players include:
