‘Sabotage’ rocks Mighty Warriors

DIVISIONS within the Zimbabwe Women Football administration threaten to hamper the Mighty Warriors’ preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) finals in November, with some league teams aligned to former Women Football boss Miriam Sibanda reportedly refusing to release players for national duty.

Of the 28 players who were called for camp over the weekend for a preparatory match against Egypt set for Rufaro Stadium this afternoon, only 14, including three goalkeepers, attended the team’s training session at the match venue yesterday.

Reports yesterday suggested that teams aligned to the deposed Sibanda were reluctant to release their players to “fix” the football association.
