The 1st round will now take place in the FIFA window of 18 to 26 October 2021 and the second round will take place in the FIFA window of 14 to 23 February 2022.
Zimbabwe’s senior women’s football team, the Mighty Warriors were supposed to play Eswatini in the first round of the qualifiers next month and had already started the preparations.
However, the postponement could be a blessing in disguise as it will help the Mighty Warriors adequately prepare for the game after spending several months without playing football due to the pandemic.
They missed a chance to play a friendly game against South Africa last month after facing logistical issues.
