MOTHERWELL has confirmed the availability of Tawanda Maswanhise for the Warriors’ upcoming 2025 Afcon qualifiers.
Zimbabwe will face Kenya in the penultimate round of Group J on 15 November at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
They will travel to Cameroon for their final game on 19 November in Yaounde.
Maswanhise was selected in the twenty-three-man squad to play both games.
Motherwell confirmed the call-up, saying: “Tawanda Maswanhise has earned his place in the Zimbabwe squad.
“The Warriors will round off their Africa Cup of Nation qualifying campaign. With two good results last month, their qualification fate is in their own hands.”
Zimbabwe is on eight points and currently in second place in Group J.
The national team will go into this round of games knowing a point against Kenya would be enough to qualify.
Meanwhile, the Confederation of African Football (Caf) has confirmed details for Cameroon, Zimbabwe match in Afcon Qualifiers
Cameroon will host Zimbabwe in the final Group J game of the 2025 Afcon Qualifiers.
The match will be played at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé on November 19.
Kick-off is at 3pm.
The two teams will be in action four days before their meeting in Yaounde.
Cameroon will travel to South Africa to play their penultimate fixture against Namibia.
Zimbabwe will face Kenya, and the match will also happen at South Africa’s Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane.
Despite retaining the bulk of players, who did duty against Namibia last month, coach Michael Nees’ move to omit Highlanders striker Lynoth Chikuhwa, who happens to be the league’s top goal scorer has faced a backlash.
The Indomitable Lions have already qualified for the 2025 Afcon finals in Morocco, and the Warriors will need to avoid a defeat in any of their remaining two games of the qualifiers to book their place. -@FungaiMuderere
