Zikeeper backs Warriors to qualify for Afcon

FORMER Warriors goalkeeper Edmore “Zikeeper” Sibanda has backed Zimbabwe to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals after they were drawn in Group J together with Cameroon, Kenya and Namibia. 

Zimbabwe were seeded in Pot 4 of the draw after they slipped to 38th position on the Africa rankings. There was danger that the coachless and homeless Warriors team would be handed a tough draw as a result, but it seems they got away with a fair draw, according to Sibanda.
