The Zimbabwe Football Association has confirmed the details for the Warriors’ preparations to face Kenya in their penultimate 2025 Afcon Qualifiers Group J match. Due to the unavailability of approved stadiums in Zimbabwe, the game will be held at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, South Africa, on Friday, November 15, at 6 pm CAT.

The 23-man squad, comprising players from local and international clubs, will assemble in Polokwane on Sunday, November 10. Those based outside South Africa will fly directly to Polokwane, joining their locally-based counterparts. The team shifted its base from Johannesburg to Polokwane due to booking congestion and difficulties securing high-standard training facilities.

The Warriors seek to overcome their bogey team, Kenya, and will rely on the skills of goalkeepers Washington Arubi, Marley Tavaziva, and Martin Mapisa. The defense includes Divine Lunga, Gerald Takwara, and Teenage Hadebe, while Marvelous Nakamba, Marshall Munetsi, and Andy Rinomhota anchor the midfield. The forward line boasts Tinotenda Kadewere, Khama Billiat, Prince Dube, and Terrence Dzvukamanja.
