President Emmerson Mnangagwa has donated US$400,000 to the Zimbabwe Senior Men’s football team, the Warriors, to support players’ welfare ahead of the 2025 AFCON finals in Morocco later this month.
The cash contribution was announced by Minister of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture Anselem Sanyatwe during a send-off event organised by ZIFA in Harare, where he was the Guest of Honour. Said Sanyatwe:
“Let me proudly inform you that the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe injected a total of US$400 000 from his office, and not fiscus, for the welfare of our Warriors during AFCON.”
The send-off ceremony was also attended by Deputy Minister of Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture Emily Jesaya, who will lead the Zimbabwe contingent in Morocco; Sports and Recreation Commission chairman Nathaniel Madzivanyika; ZIFA president Nqobile Magwizi and his board; members of the business community; and football supporters.
Minister Sanyatwe urged the Warriors to give their all in the challenging Group B, which includes neighbours South Africa, Angola, and Egypt.
At the event, ZIFA also unveiled the new Warriors jersey for the AFCON tournament. The strip, designed by local brand Warrior Pride, will be worn when Zimbabwe depart for Morocco on Tuesday, 16 December.
