THE reaction from the South African media is that the Warriors have picked a STRONG squad for their World Cup date against Bafana Bafana on October 10.
KickOff.com ran with this headline − ZIM NAME STRONG SQUAD TO FACE BAFANA IN WCQ.
It summed everything the South African media think about the men who were named yesterday to represent the Warriors.
“Zimbabwe head coach Michael Nees has announced his squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Lesotho,” Kick-Off.com reported
“The Warriors will first face Bafana Bafana on Friday, October 10, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.
“This venue will serve as a home away from home for Zimbabwe, as the country currently has no FIFA-approved stadiums.
“Zimbabwe remains winless in Group C, having lost four matches and drawn four from eight games, with just two fixtures remaining.
“Nees has named his strong squad as he is aiming for a first win. The team is highlighted by the return of former Kaizer Chiefs star Khama Billiat, who missed the previous two matches.
“Other notable inclusions are ex-Amakhosi striker Knowledge Musona along with former Orlando Pirates duo Terrence Dzukamanja and Marshall Munetsi.’
The publication also added:
“Nees has also called up several players from the Betway Premiership, including Mamelodi Sundowns left-back Devine Lunga, Washington Arubi from Marumo Gallants, Elvis Chipezeze of Magesi FC, and Thando Ngwenya, who plays for AmaZulu FC.”
