🇿🇼 NSS HOMOLOGATION UPDATE

A CAF inspection team visited the National Sports Stadium last night as Zimbabwe continues its push to host AFCON qualifiers at home.

Sources say the progress has been positive, with the pitch receiving particular praise.

There is growing hope that the NSS could soon receive partial approval for international matches. 🏟️⚽

🇿🇼 ANOTHER YOUNG ZIMBABWEAN GOALKEEPER TO WATCH! 🧤🔥

Benjamin Tatenda Norell, just 16 years old, is making his way into the senior setup at Swedish giants Hammarby IF.

The Zimbabwean rooted goalkeeper has already been involved with the Hammarby senior team and was named on the bench in their UEFA Conference League match last week. 👏🏾🇸🇪

Born on 14 July 2009, Norell represents a promising new generation of Zimbabwean eligible talent developing in Europe. His progression will certainly be one to keep an eye on. 👀🇿🇼

Zimbabwe has another goalkeeper coming through. 🧤🇿🇼

🇿🇼🔥 ETHAN SUTHERLAND READY FOR THE WARRIORS!

20 year old Zimbabwe eligible left wingback Ethan Sutherland is set for a season long loan move to Exeter City, giving him the chance to gain valuable first team experience in England.

The Wolves youngster has also recently extended his stay at Molineux, keeping him tied to the Premier League club beyond this season.

Now playing regular senior football could be the next big step in his development. 👀🇿🇼

Sutherland has already committed to representing Zimbabwe and will be available for the Warriors if called up.

A left wing back with Premier League pedigree, entering League Two hungry to prove himself.

🇿🇼⚡ THE WARRIORS HAVE ANOTHER ONE.

🇿🇼🔥 THANDO NGWENYA IS ON FIRE!

3 GOALS. 2 GAMES. 🥶⚽

The Zimbabwean striker is back and making noise! After battling his way back from injury, Thando is finding his killer instinct again and the timing couldn’t be better. 🇿🇼💪

SIERRA LEONE 🇸🇱. DRC 🇨🇩. AFCON QUALIFIERS. 🏆

Next month, the Warriors will need a striker who can smell goals… and THANDO IS WARMING UP! 🔥🔥

Zimbabwe, we might have our man. 🇿🇼🐘

THE WARRIORS’ NUMBER 9 IS LOADING… ⏳⚽

The road to the U23 AFCON qualifiers begins 28–30 September, with Zimbabwe aiming to take the first step towards qualifying for the 2027 U23 AFCON and, ultimately, the 2028 Olympic Games.

Some exciting overseas-based talents who could strengthen the Young Warriors include:

🇿🇼 Menzi Mazwi (20) – Birmingham City
🇿🇼 Corbin Mthunzi (20) – Ipswich Town
🇿🇼 Sean Fusire (21) – Sheffield Wednesday
🇿🇼 Ethan Sutherland (20) – Wolves U21
🇿🇼 Prosper Padera (19) – SJ

With these players, plus more talented youngsters from abroad and the local league, do you think Zimbabwe can qualify for the U23 AFCON and possibly book a place at the 2028 Olympic Games?

Imagine a midfield trio of:
🔹 Prosper Padera as the deep-lying midfielder
🔹 Sean Fusire as the box-to-box No. 8
🔹 Menzi Mazwi as the creative No. 10

All three have already featured for the senior national team. On paper, that's a midfield capable of causing serious problems for any opponent.

Do you believe this generation has what it takes? 🇿🇼👇

🚨 STICK OR TWIST? THE YOUNG WARRIORS' COUNTDOWN BEGINS! 🇿🇼⚽

The 2027 U23 AFCON Qualifiers are just around the corner, with Zimbabwe set to begin its campaign from 28–30 September.

With preparations entering a crucial stage, one big question remains:

Who should lead the Young Warriors?

Takesure Chiragwi was the last coach to guide this developmental side and knows the local game well. But should ZIFA stick with him for continuity, or appoint a new coach to bring fresh ideas ahead of such an important tournament?

🗳️ VOTE BELOW:

👍 STICK – Keep Takesure Chiragwi and back continuity.

❤️ TWIST – Appoint a new coach with a fresh tactical approach.

Who would you trust to lead Zimbabwe's next generation? And which players deserve a place in the squad?

🇿🇼 Menzi Mazwi Update

Zimbabwe international Menzi Mazwi featured for Rochdale in a pre season friendly against FC United of Manchester, playing the opening 45 minutes.

The 20 year old midfielder, who is contracted to Birmingham City FC, has been training with Rochdale as the club assesses a potential loan move ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Wishing Menzi all the best as he continues his development. 🇿🇼💪
