CAPS United fans thronged the Harare International Airport this afternoon to see off the team as it embarks on their first trip to North Africa in the group stages of the CAF champions league.
The premier league champions broke a club record to qualify for the mini league for the first time in 2017. They play Zamalek in Alexandria, Egypt on Friday in a Group B group stages encounter.
The other two trips will be to Algeria to face USM Alger and to Lybia to play Al Ahly Tripoli.
Soccer24 brings you some of their frenzied reactions and expectations.
“We’ll win 3-1 at Zamalek, there’s nothing to fear. There’s nothing there’ll do to us. We’ll be in charge at Zamalek and we’ll be in charge back home, and we’ll sleep the whole night.”
– Baba Chele, Mukepekepe chaiye chaiye
“I’m happy that my team is going to Egypt to beat Zamalek. CAPS United is the team in Zimbabwe which is strong at the moment and no team can beat them at the moment. We want 3-0 at Zamalek. We also want [Ronald] Chitiyo to repeat that bicycle kick goal abroad. Kepekepe bhora!!”
– Trust Mhiripiri
“I’m happy because my team is going to Egypt. As for my team, I’m not doubting them because they are a good team. We are going to beat Zamalek in their back yard. Go Green Go. Kepekepe bhora!!”
