Warriors land favourable programme

THE Zimbabwe senior soccer team has been handed what appears to be a favourable fixture schedule in their 2021 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualification bid as they kick off the campaign with a home clash against Botswana in November.

Zimbabwe will also wrap up their campaign with what could be a decisive home clash against neighbours Zambia.

The Warriors were drawn in Group H alongside reigning African champions Algeria and neighbours Zambia and Botswana as they battle for two tickets to the finals that will be held in Cameroon.
