Chiyangwa demands Afcon trophy

ZIFA president Philip Chiyangwa has challenged Warriors coach Kalisto Pasuwa and his team to go and put up a strong fight in Gabon and win the African Cup of Nations Cup (Afcon) trophy.

Chiyangwa, still basking in the glow of his triumph last week when he was elected unopposed as the Council of Southern African Football Association (Cosafa) president — a first for Zimbabwean football — said his victory was an indication that “it can be done”.

Speaking during the unveiling of a $250 000 sponsorship package for the Warriors under NetOne’s Fusion brand in Harare yesterday, Chiyangwa said he worked hard to convince all regional leaders to vote for him.
