The Zimbabwe women soccer team, Mighty Warriors technical department has announced the final 18 member squad that will travel to Luanda for the All Africa Games second and final round first leg qualifier tie against Angola.
Head coach, Rosemary Mugadza and her technical team have made only two changes to the team that travelled to Zambia in March.
Patience Mujuru, who missed the Zambia return tie due to injury has bounced back into the team's defence replacing Danai Bhobho who has been sidelined due to an ankle injury.
Captain Nomsa 'Boys' Moyo returns to assume her captaincy after missing the action against Shepolopolo Queens.
Her return is expected to provide the much needed experience as the Mighty Warriors prepare for the Angolans whose game has with time gained strength.
Captain Moyo will be ably assisted by expertise from Tsitsi Mairosi, Talent Mandaza, Marjory Nyaumwe and Nokuthula Ndlovu.
The team will fly out Wednesday morning for Saturday's match hoping for an all out win to cushion them ahead of the return leg and subsequent qualification into the 2011 edition of the All Africa Games.
