The Mighty Warriors will remain in camp in Harare until next week before departing for South Africa.

The women’s team is preparing for the 2023 COSAFA Women’s Championship set for Gauteng Province in South Africa.
Zimbabwe will return to the tournament next month after missing last year’s edition due to a FIFA ban on the country.

Zimbabwe, who started the camp on Monday, were placed Group C along with Lesotho, Namibia and Botswana following a draw conducted last week.

The Mighty Warriors will leave for the tournament on 3 October, a day before the tournament starts.

Zimbabwe will play their first game on 6 October against Lesotho at 12h00 CAT.

This will be the women’s team’s first international involvement since the lifting of the FIFA ban in July.

Here is the squad that’s in camp.
