The Zimbabwe national team, the Warriors, have started arriving in Abidjan as preparations intensify for their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier.
A group of key players, Godknows Murwira, Walter Musona, Martin Mapisa, Emmanuel Jalai, and Terrence Dzvukamanja, travelled overnight and are now in camp, joined by technical staff.
The remainder of the squad is expected soon, with Knowledge Musona and several South Africa-based players set to land in Abidjan tomorrow afternoon.
There is been one change to the initial squad: Tymon Machope has been called up to replace Jonah Fabisch, who was ruled out after failing a concussion clearance test following an injury last week.
The Warriors are determined to put on a strong performance as they aim to keep their World Cup qualification hopes alive in what promises to be a tough Group C contest.
With the squad steadily assembling and spirits high, all eyes are now on the Warriors to deliver when it matters most.
As they gear up for this vital clash against Benin, the team carries the hopes of a nation eager to see them rise to the occasion and take a big step forward in their World Cup qualification campaign.
