Zimbabwe sports had big news this week. Two players moved to better teams in England.
Soccer player Marshall Munetsi left his French team for English club Wolves. The 28-year-old said this change made his dreams come true. He could play his first game next week against Liverpool, the team at the top.
Few players from Zimbabwe play in England's best league. The move brings hope that more players might join top teams. This helps Zimbabwe's national team grow stronger.
The new leaders of Zimbabwe football want to make better plans for young players. Past leaders did not help young teams grow. They kept teams away from games in Africa, which led to fewer players moving to good leagues.
Zimbabwe needs players in the world's best leagues—England, Germany, Spain, Italy, and France. More players in these leagues means a better chance of winning the Africa Cup and playing in the World Cup.
Zimbabwe played in the Africa Cup five times but never made it to the World Cup. Other teams like Nigeria and Senegal play better because their players work in top leagues. Zimbabwe's team will play in the Africa Cup in Morocco this year. Their coach is glad about Munetsi's move up.
Rugby had good news, as well. Cleopas Kundiona will play for Northampton Saints, the best team in England. The 26-year-old played in France for three years.
This helps Zimbabwe's rugby team. They must win the Africa Cup to play in the World Cup in Australia in 2027. Zimbabwe last played in the World Cup 30 years ago.
Both moves show that Zimbabwe's sports can grow. The country needs more players in top leagues to improve its teams.
