The Zimbabwe Warriors are preparing for a crucial AFCON qualifier against Namibia on Thursday 10 October 2024, with their plans disrupted by an injury crisis. As the team heads into this vital doubleheader, the pressure is on to secure maximum points and move closer to booking a spot at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

German coach Michael Nees has opted for a largely unchanged squad, but the team will be without two key players: Lyon striker Tino Kadewere and Derby County rising star Tawanda Chirewa, both side-lined by injury. Their absence leaves a significant gap in the attack, which has struggled in recent fixtures.

If I were to summarize Zimbabwe’s performance against Cameroon in the AFCON Qualifiers, which ended in a goalless draw, it would be courage, discipline, Khama, and Munetsi. Marshall Munetsi played like a true warrior, wearing his heart on his sleeve—and the captain’s armband on his bicep.

Former FC Platinum player Novan 'Noviro' Mupfudza (24), who is based in Zvishavane, is aiming to expand his football career wings by representing the Zimbabwean men's football national team and clubs around the world. 

Speaking with ZimSphere, Noviro said after stepping away from football in 2022 to persue a diploma in Auto Electrics, he could not find anything else that brings him joy and satisfaction as football does; and so he is now aiming to get back in shape and represent his country and other football clubs around the world.

"I couldn't balance up school and football as l was studying Auto Electrics so my schedule was tight for me to go for training sessions or games so l decided to hold my football career in 2022 and finish up my school," he said.

Why are African governments so focused on investing money into football while football cannot generate profits?

Does anyone have figures or data or point me to a place where I can find data or figues on:

1. Money spent in hosting African Nations Cup tournaments.
2. How much the African government invested
3. How much CAF have to that host country
4. How much sponsors contribute to hosting the tournament?

I am doing some research on this..

Thank you..

Accusations of superstitious beliefs being used to influence the outcome of matches in Zimbabwean local football continue to take centre stage; a phenomenon that always threatens to cast doubts on the integrity of domestic football. These are not new; every season is almost guaranteed its fair share of these controversies. 

Such controversies have again come to the fore, this time in the ZIFA Northern Region Division One League; pitting title contenders Scottland FC and MWOS FC. So fierce is the title race that the match between these clubs on the weekend—a match that was attended by over 5,000 fans (great figures for Zimbabwean football!)—has descended into visceral accusations of dark magic being used to influence results.
