SPORTS Minister Anselem Sanyatwe has urged Zimbabweans to throw their full support behind the Warriors ahead of their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Benin on Friday evening in Cote d’Ivoire.
In a passionate statement, the Minister of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture said the government is fully behind the team as they fight to keep their World Cup dream alive.
“Warriors, you carry with you the hopes, dreams and spirit of an entire nation. We are rallying behind you with pride and belief,” said Sanyatwe.
He encouraged the players to take to the pitch with courage and pride.
“Step onto that pitch with courage, not fear. Play with heart, with honor and with the determination that defines Zimbabwean resilience,” he added.
Sanyatwe also praised head coach Michael Nees and his technical team for their work in shaping the squad.
“To Coach Michael Nees and the entire technical team, your leadership and vision are vital. Steer the ship with clarity and conviction. Know that the nation stands firmly behind your efforts.”
The Warriors are yet to qualify for a FIFA World Cup and face a tough task in their group.
Concluding his message, Sanyatwe called for unity across the country.
“Let this be the moment Zimbabwe rises, together, in pursuit of the World Cup dream. Go Warriors! Make us proud!”
