HARARE – Mighty Warriors’ new coach, Shadreck Mlaudzi, has announced a provisional 25-member squad set to participate in the upcoming COSAFA Women’s Championship, scheduled to kick off on the 3rd of next month in Gauteng, South Africa.
This tournament marks Zimbabwe’s return to international women’s football after a two-year suspension was lifted by FIFA.
Mlaudzi, who previously led the team during the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, has placed his trust in a blend of experienced veterans and emerging talents for this prestigious competition.
In the goalkeeping department, the battle for the number one spot includes Chido Dzingirai from Correctional Queens, Lindiwe Magwede of Herentals, and Cynthia Shonga representing Harare City, all of whom bring previous experience with the Mighty Warriors.
The defensive lineup boasts a mix of youth and experience, featuring players like Hazel Dhlakama, Thelma Masawi of Platinum Royals, and Vimbai Mharadzi of Chapungu Queens.
The squad also includes seasoned defenders like Nobukhosi Ncube and Edeline Mutumbami from Chapungu, Purity Mugayi and Eunice Chibanda of Black Rhinos, and Mitchel Nyakatsapa representing Harare City.
The midfield is anchored by experienced players such as Emmaculate Msipa, Privilege Mupeti, and Daisy Kaitano, all from Black Rhinos, as well as Bethel Kondo and Shyline Dambamuromo of Herentals.
South African-based Peacemore Kanende is eager to make her mark, while young talents like Tanyaradzwa Chihoro of Maningi Youth Academy and Ennerty Chemhere will seek to impress at the senior level.
The striking department features Rudo Neshamba from Harare City, Christabel Katona of Black Rhinos Queens, and the Herentals duo of Pranance Zvawanda and Maud Mafuruse, promising an exciting battle for the frontline positions.
The Mighty Warriors are set to commence their preparations with a training camp in Harare starting this Tuesday as they gear up for the COSAFA Women’s Championship.
Zimbabwe has been placed in Group C alongside Namibia, Botswana, and Lesotho.
The team’s participation in this tournament is a significant moment for Zimbabwean women’s football, having previously won the COSAFA Women’s Championship in 2011 when the event was hosted in Harare.
