Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28455, member: 2262"] Zimbabwe received great news when Knowledge Musona agreed to play soccer for them again. The star player stepped away from international games back in 2022 but just decided to help his country try for its first World Cup appearance ever. He brings valuable skills from his current team, Al-Okhdood, based in Saudi Arabia. Musona adds leadership to a Warriors squad facing important matches against two tough African opponents. The team includes fresh faces mixed with experienced players as they prepare for crucial games. Head coach Nees selected six athletes from the new club, Scottland FC, to join international stars. Defense looks solid with Jordan Zemura from Italian club Udinese partnering with Divine Lunga who plays for South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns. The middle of the field features Marshall Munetsi from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers alongside Marvelous Nakamba from Luton Town. Attacking options appear strong, with Prince Dube representing Young Africans plus Tawanda Maswanhise currently at Scottish club Motherwell. Rising talent Tawanda Chirewa from Huddersfield Town might surprise fans with his offensive abilities. The Warriors first battle Benin on March 20 at a stadium in Durban, South Africa - a game they absolutely need to win. Then comes an even bigger challenge four days later when they travel to face Nigeria and their collection of global stars in Uyo. Zimbabwe struggles near the bottom of their qualifying group right now. Beating Benin would give them momentum before meeting one of Africa's powerhouse teams. Goalkeepers include Washington Arubi, Marley Tavaziva, and Martin Mapisa. Defenders consist of Zemura, Lunga, Gerald Takwara, Munashe Garananga, Isheanesu Mauchi, Peter Muduhwa, Godknows Murwira, and Emmanuel Jalai. Midfielders joining Munetsi, Nakamba, and Musona are Andy Rinomhota and Mihood. Forwards Dube, Maswanhise, Terrence Dzvukamanja, Tymon Machope, and Walter Musona round out the attacking options for these important matches. [/QUOTE]
