Warriors arrive in Harare ahead of Equatorial Guinea clash

The Zimbabwe senior men’s national football team, the Warriors, arrived in Harare this morning as preparations gather momentum ahead of Monday’s crucial AFCON qualifier Group E clash against Equatorial Guinea.

Ramon Catala’s charges touched down at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport from Yaoundé, Cameroon, where they played out a goalless draw with the Red Devils on Thursday.

Equatorial Guinea are already in the country, having arrived in Harare yesterday afternoon.

The Warriors will use the remaining days to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the showdown, which will be key in determining whether they qualify for the 2027 AFCON finals – which will be co-hosted by Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya.

Playing in front of home supporters is also expected to provide the Warriors with added motivation as they seek a positive result against the Equatorial Guineans.

The cheapest ticket for the match has been pegged at US$20.
