Zvirekwi was addressing journalists during a press conference at Umuganda stadium in Rubavu yesterday (Friday).
“The mood in camp is very high and the guys are raring to go,” said Zvirekwi .
“We have to push and get a victory and if we don’t we will go back home sadly.
“God willing we will get a positive result,” said Zvirekwi.
Zimbabwe will tomorrow play Western Africans, Mali at Umuganda stadium in Gisenyi in their second group game.
The match is slated for 3pm.
Zimbabwe’s Warriors have appeared at every final tournament since the inception of the CHAN tournament in 2009.
West Africans Mali have participated at the CHAN finals since 2011 and at the previous tournament were eliminated by Zimbabwe at the quarter-final stage.
Zimbabwe are in group D alongside Zambia, Mali and Uganda.
On Tuesday , Zimbabwe lost to Zambia in their opening CHAN game after a Isaac Chansa’s 58th minute strike and are bottom placed in group D.
