The match is set to be played on Sunday at 19:00Hrs.

The Warriors will now leave at 02:30 am. Speaking at a press conference today  Chiyangwa said,” We were hoping something would come hit our accounts but there was nothing till yesterday and we got in touch with Netone to assist and now tickets have been booked and guys will leave in early hours of the morning.

Netone is understood to have paid $68 000 in total to cover costs of the Warriors including air-fares.

Chiyangwa emphasised the need for the Warriors to win in Guinea and continue impressing to attract more corporate sponsorship would come through as a result.
