The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) is delighted to inform the football
fraternity and the nation at large that the fifteen (15) members of the Warriors’
African Nations Championship (Chan) team that had previously tested positive
for Covid-19 have all tested negative save for one (1) in the re-tests conducted
on January 8 2021.

The player that re-tested positive for Covid-19 will continue self-isolating while
in camp, awaiting another test on January 12 2021. The technical team and the
22 players declared covid-19 free will now resume training ahead of their
departure for Cameroon on the January 13 2021.

ZIFA would like to assure the public that we will adhere to CAF, FIFA and
SRC medical protocols before, during and after the tournament in order to
mitigate the spread of the virus.
The Association would like to thank all stakeholders for their patience and
support during the dark period which severely hampered our team’s
preparations.

We are confident that every member of the team will be motivated by these new
progressive developments to be victorious on the pitch.

All stakeholders are reminded that Warriors’ training sessions are restricted to only authorised personnel.

ZIFA appeals to all stakeholders to remain vigilant in the face of a renewed
covid-19 threat. Please observe all healthy and safety guidelines to keep
everyone safe.

The CHAN finals will be played from January 16 to February 7 2021.
Zimbabwe is in group A together with hosts Cameroon, Burkina Faso, and
Mali.
