Knowledge Musona has ended his international retirement, marking his return to the Zimbabwe Warriors. Musona had stepped away from national duty in May 2022 to focus on his club career and pave the way for younger players.

Following convincing discussions with Warriors coach Michael Nees, Musona has rejoined the team. He is now part of the squad set to compete in the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Group C matches against Benin and Nigeria.

Musona’s initial 12-year stint with the national team saw him earn 54 caps and score 24 goals. Currently, he plays for Al Okhdood in the Saudi Pro League.

Musona’s return follows that of experienced players Khama Billiat and Washington Arubi, who also rejoined the national team under Nees’ leadership. Billiat had retired from international football, while Arubi had fallen down the pecking order.
