The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Authority (ZBC) is not yet in a position to beam live the Africa Cup of Nations tournament which starts in Egypt on Friday (tomorrow).
It was revealed on Thursday morning that the public broadcaster is still battling to acquire broadcasting rights to show the AFCON games.
ZBC chief executive Patrick Mavhura told parliamentarians that the Corporation needs 700 000 Euros to secure the rights.
Mavhura was appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Information, Media and Broadcasting Services when he made the revelations.
With the current economic challenges, most of the soccer lovers were expecting to watch the tournament on ZBCtv as Pay TV has become unaffordable.
For those who intend to watch the action in bars, the current load shedding will put paid to that, and for those with generators, well the fuel is hard to find nowadays.

ZBC May Not Broadcast AFCON As It Battles To Get €700 000 For Rights

The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has reportedly “robbed” forty Warriors fans of their funds donated by a local businessman, Kuda Tagwirei.
Reports indicate that Tagwirei made the donation to enable staunch Warriors supporters to travel to Egypt to cheer the boys but ZIFA officials hand-picked ZIFA Councillors, various journalists and lady friends for the trip.
An insider who spoke to the Zimbabwe Morning Post revealed the scandal. He said:
<blockquote>Kuda Tagwireyi bought 40 tickets for Warriors fans.
He gave them to ZIFA for onward transmission to the relevant stakeholders or at least arrangements for the fans to be in Egypt before Friday.
He also provided money for the fans accommodation and upkeep in Egypt which would ensure they did not miss any group matches.
But this is a sad day for football and most especially the Warriors who need every support they can get in Egypt.</blockquote>
Tagwirei has been at the forefront in giving financial support to the Warriors after he bought President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s scarf for ZWL$250 000 at a Warriors fundraising event recently.
ZIFA spokesperson Xolisani Gwesela refuted the allegations which he branded “baseless”. He said:
<blockquote>Those are baseless allegations and a concoction of falsehoods. ZIFA is an accountable organisation and we are fully aware of our responsibilities. We will never abuse any funds.
Your so-called “good authority sources” have misled you. We dismiss these falsehoods with the contempt they deserve.
Meanwhile, we remain focused as we prepare for our AFCON group A encounter against the Pharaohs on Friday.</blockquote>

ZIFA "Defrauds" Warriors Fans Of Kuda Tagwirei's Donation - Report

The Warriors have suffered an early setback in their quest to become champions of Africa after influential midfielder Tafadzwa Kutinyu suffered a knee injury.
Kutinyu was reportedly expected to start in Friday’s much-anticipated opening match against the Pharaohs of Egypt. However, his injury rules him out for the entire tournament.
Speaking to Newsday Sport from the national team camp in Cairo, Egypt, Warriors manager Wellington Mupandare said:
<blockquote>I can confirm that Kutinyu is going to miss the whole tournament due to a knee injury that he suffered.
We have had some tests and the results have not gone in our favour and it’s unfortunate that the player can no longer take part in this tournament.
The next step is for the technical team to meet and consider a replacement after our training session this evening.
This is something that we had not envisaged, so we will have to sit over it and see who we can bring in.
We will have to present our medical report to Caf so that they can ascertain if we can be allowed to make a replacement. From what the report says, that should not be a problem.</blockquote>
Reports indicate that if CAF gives the Warriors the green light to bring in a replacement for Kutinyu, Rodwell Chingetere will be the player.
Zimbabwe hosts Egypt on Friday, 21 June at the Cairo International Stadium at 10 PM Zimbabwean Time.

Knee Injury Rules Tafadzwa Kutinyu Out AFCON Tournament

Zimbabwe national team captain Knowledge Musona says they will have no special plans in place to stop Egypt star Mohamed Salah in the opening match of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Pharaohs and the Warriors will clash in Cairo on Friday night in the first match of the continental showpiece.
Salah presents a clear and present danger to Zimbabwe’s hopes of upsetting the North African giants, but Musona says the Warriors cannot only focus on the Liverpool forward. But speaking to The Herald, Musona said:
<blockquote>We should not only aim at stopping Mohamed Salah but everyone on the field because if we make that mistake, then we are going to fight against Salah, we will be destroyed by someone we don’t know.
We just have to make sure that we are strong in every position and we are ready to fight in every duel and also take the chances that we might have, we are not here to talk, we are here to play, we came here to fight and it’s gonna be a tough game.</blockquote>
Musona has also thanked the fans and stakeholders for the massive support he has received.
<blockquote>That is what makes me tick, fighting for my team and my country and I know that every time I play for Zimbabwe, everyone supports me, they have been supporting me since I started playing for the national team, and the best way I can respond is to fight for them.
Even if I don’t score, what is important is that I contribute to help my team do well and get a good result, this is what makes me good, I think.</blockquote>

PICTURES: Warriors Train Ahead Of Friday's Clash With Egypt

The Zimbabwe national football team, the Warriors, are being accommodated at a fortified military hotel in one of the Egyptian capital Cairo’s most affluent neighbourhood.
The Heliopolis neighbourhood, where the Warriors are based, is where Egypt’s powerful military is headquartered.
The area is also where the regional offices of the World Health Organisation and the Red Crescent Society are based.
It is in the same neighbourhood where the Cairo Military Academy Stadium is situated. The giant stadium was used as the home ground by soccer giants Al Ahly and Zamalek while the Cairo International Stadium was being given a facelift.
Heliopolis neighbourhood has 16 major mosques, there is also the Saint Mark’s Church and Saint George’s Church as well as a Jewish synagogue.

'Warriors Located In Affluent, Highly Secure Cairo Neighbourhood'

France-bound Warriors defender-cum-midfielder, Marshall Munetsi has heaped praise on coach Sunday Chidzambga for granting him the opportunity to play for the national team.
Munetsi recently signed a four-year contract with French League 1 side Stade de Reims. He said:
<blockquote>Coach Sunday is a father figure first of all. He takes care of everyone, and not looking at where you come from or your background.
He is a person who talks to players personally, trying to improve our game and giving us the platform to play.
He gave me this opportunity to play for the national team, and I have done my best not to let him down.</blockquote>
Munetsi said that the current group of Warriors can move further in the Africa Cup of Nations, unlike during in the previous times that they qualified. He added:
<blockquote>Firstly, the difference is the coach, we have a coach who has the experience, who has qualified for the Afcon before and he is the coach that knows how to defend.
He is a coach that knows how to put a proper structure, so we have a balanced team this time around and we know what we have to rectify from what happened in the previous tournament.
And also you can see the talent that is in the team now. (For example), in the attacking players that we have and also the young upcoming players that are there at the back that are doing their best, so we have a balanced team.</blockquote>

The Warriors will play a practice match against the Taifa Stars, the Tanzanian national team this coming Sunday in preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations which starts next week on Friday.
The team was given a day off on Tuesday after a gruelling week in which the players took part in three games.
Warriors team manager, Wellington Mpandare, revealed that the team will resume training on Wednesday (today). He said:
<blockquote>The players never had a rest day since the COSAFA Cup matches, it was all travelling and playing games.
Our training venue in Cairo is very secure, the security is tight and we are not worried about any strangers watching our training sessions.
It is up to us to allow people during training or not.</blockquote>

Egyptian national team assistant coach, Hany Ramzy revealed that the Pharaohs are keeping an eagle’s eye on the Warriors ahead of the clash between the two sides on Friday, June 21.
The Warriors played out a goalless draw against the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Saturday and also topped their qualifying group ahead of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
With a significant number of the Warriors players plying their trade in Europe and South Africa, Egypt reckons that they will not be mere pushovers. Said Ramzy:
<blockquote>We are monitoring the Zimbabwe team very well. They are known for their solid defence, quick attacks and for depending on long balls.
It will be a strong start. We hope to get a positive result as it would be a good boost to continue our campaign successfully.</blockquote>
Meanwhile, Egypt plays Tanzania on June 13, before playing Guinea on June 16 ahead of the Warriors clash.
The Pharaohs will kick off their campaign against Zimbabwe on June 21, before games against DR Congo and Uganda follow on June 26 and June 30, respectively.
Egypt has won the Africa Cup of Nations a record seven times.

Warriors Final Squad For AFCON 2019

Warriors and Orlando Pirates winger, Kuda Mahachi, said that the players will fight like true warriors at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals to be held in Egypt in just over a month.
Mahachi said that he is not concerned by the taunts from the Uganda coach who opined that the Warriors will be the whipping boys in Group A.
Speaking on the sidelines of the official launch of his charity initiative, the Kudakwashe Mahachi Foundation at Ekuphumuleni Old People’s home, Mahachi said:
<blockquote>It’s our second time (in a row) qualifying to the Afcon finals and that means we have a strong and competitive team.
Though we are going into the Afcon finals as underdogs, we will fight like Warriors to go through to the knockout stages.
We have many calling us underdogs — even the Ugandan coach has written us off.
He said we are going to be the whipping boys of the group, but such words won’t deter us from fighting for our country.
We will show them that we are competitive as they are.</blockquote>
The Bulawayo-bred striker and former Highlanders player was named in Sunday Chidzambgwa’s 34-man provisional squad which will be trimmed to 23 before travelling to Egypt.

'We Will Fight Like True Warriors At Afcon', Says Kuda Mahachi

Warriors striker Macauley Bonne is on the verge of hitting a milestone at his team, English National League side Leyton Orient.
Bonne is set to make his 100th appearance for Orient this Friday against Harrogate Town.
Moreover, if Bonne finds the net, he would get his 50th goal for the club. And last week he surpassed his best season tally in the league when he scored his 23rd goal to set a new personal best.
He became the youngest ever Leyton Orient player in 2018 to score twenty-five goals across all competitions in a single season and he looks set to go beyond that mark again.
Bonne, who has been dubbed the ‘New Jamie Vardy’ is being courted by English Premier League clubs – Leicester City, Huddersfield and Newcastle as well as Leeds in the Championship.
He joined the Leyton Orient in July 2017 from Colchester United on a two-year deal which he extended at the end of last year until 2020.
The 23-year-old striker is in line to get a Zimbabwean passport after having reportedly submitted his application forms.
There is a real possibility that he will be available for the Warriors when they embark on the journey to conquer Africa at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals in June.

England-based Zimbabwean Striker On The Brink Of Achieving Milestone

The Warriors are set to be drawn in a tough Group for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) first round to be conducted by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) this Friday.
CAF has not yet released the format that will be used for the draw but analysts expect a blend of the March 2019 FIFA world rankings released last week and recent performances in the Nations Cup to sort the teams.
Zimbabwe is ranked 110th on the FIFA World Ranking, and 26th in Africa. As a result, the Warriors will be in a Group which contains two of the 12-ranked sides in the tournament. These countries are Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco, Nigeria, RDC, Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt, Mali, Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Algeria.
The fourth team in the Group will be a team ranked lower than Zimbabwe. The top two teams in each pool advance to the second round‚ along with the four best third-placed teams.
Warriors coach Sunday Chidzambwa and team manager Wellington Mpandare left the country on Tuesday for the draw that will be held at a historic place facing the Sphinx and the Pyramids, near Cairo, Egypt.
ZIFA president Felton Kamambo and the football body’s board member for competitions Chamu Chiwanza are set to join the duo in time for the draw tomorrow (Friday).

Memorial Service Held For Fan Who Died During Warriors Match

ZIFA president Felton Kamambo yesterday said he wants the Warriors to go beyond this year’s Africa Cup of Nations group stage for the first time.
Kamambo said they have put in place a comprehensive plan to prepare for the 2019 finals set for Egypt between June 21 and July 19. The Warriors have previously qualified for the 2004, 2006 and 2017 finals but in all editions they perished in the first round. ZIFA’s plan includes a training camp in Europe and North Africa where they hope to engage in competitive friendly matches. Said Kamambo:
<blockquote>We knew we were going to qualify and we have a master plan for AFCON. We have always been confident but we didn’t want to put the players under pressure. In terms of the preparations, I think we are on course. Our office has been working hard on that and we have some friendly matches lined up. There are some countries that have requested for friendlies and the good thing is some of these countries have agreed to fully fund the trips. We were just waiting to qualify and now that it’s done we can go ahead. I can also tell you that the players are going to camp in North Africa for two weeks to acclimatise. They will start off in Europe and then come back to finish off in Northern Africa. We will reveal most of the information later.</blockquote>

Zimbabwe Seeks To Go Beyond AFCON Group Stage

ZIFA board member for competitions Chamu Chiwanza said the big AFCON qualifier between Zimbabwe and Congo was a learning curve for them.
He said they will improve in terms of the e-ticketing in future matches. Chiwanza said there is need to educate people to come to the stadium on time to avoid pressure and the chaos. He also regretted the death of one fan during a stampede. Said Chiwanza:
<blockquote>The e-ticketing system works perfectly once everyone gets to understand about it. It is always difficult when you introduce a new system, it takes time for people to adapt and to us that was a learning process. There were lessons learnt and we hope to improve in the coming games.. It was the first time we were using e-tickets so it’s crucial to carry out awareness campaigns on how to purchase tickets online and to educate people to come to the stadium on time to avoid pressure and the chaos.  Personally, I was on the ground by 9am and the system worked perfectly well but many people arrived well after 2pm and that’s when some people became impatient because of the numbers.</blockquote>

Zimbabwe Republic Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi confirmed a woman died in a stampede as people scrambled to find their way into the National Sports Stadium for the final Afcon qualifying match between Zimbabwe and Congo yesterday.
Nyathi also confirmed two others were seriously injured and rushed to hospital. He said one was injured during the stampede while the other jumped into the stadium towards the end of the match. Nyathi said they are investigating the incidents. Said Nyathi:
<blockquote>We are saddened to confirm that a woman died today (yesterday) between 2pm and 3pm and two people were injured at the National Sports Stadium at the match between Zimbabwe and Congo. At Gate 3, there were problems with the ticket scanner and people became impatient since the match was about to start and they began pushing and shoving in trying to gain entrance. The woman who was in front fell down and was trampled upon by the mob. She was taken to a local hospital where she was confirmed dead after admission. We can also confirm that one person was injured during the stampede and was rushed to the hospital. His life is not in much danger. We also have a spectator who was injured and admitted to the hospital when he jumped into the stadium towards the end of the match and we have launched full investigations into the incidents.</blockquote>
