Motherwell has confirmed that Tawanda Maswanhise will be available for selection in the Zimbabwe national team's upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers. The Warriors are set to face Kenya on November 15 at Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane, before travelling to Cameroon for their final qualifier on November 19 in Yaoundé.
Maswanhise has been included in the 23-man squad for these crucial fixtures as Zimbabwe seeks to secure their place in the 2025 Afcon finals. Motherwell confirmed the call-up, praising the young player's contribution to the national team, stating, "Tawanda Maswanhise has earned his place in the Zimbabwe squad."
Zimbabwe currently sits second in Group J with eight points, and the Warriors will head into these final games with their qualification destiny in their own hands. A point against Kenya would be enough to secure their place in the next round of the tournament, making the upcoming match crucial for the team.
With their final group match in Cameroon against the already-qualified Indomitable Lions, Zimbabwe will need to avoid defeat to ensure they qualify for Morocco in 2025. Cameroon, which has already booked its spot in the finals, will play Namibia in their penultimate match before facing Zimbabwe.
In another key update, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has confirmed that Zimbabwe's match against Cameroon will be held at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé, with kick-off scheduled for 3:00 pm local time on November 19. This will be the final match in Group J, and Zimbabwe will need to bring their best performance to secure their qualification.
Despite retaining most of the players who featured in the recent match against Namibia, there has been some controversy surrounding coach Michael Nees' decision to omit Highlanders striker Lynoth Chikuhwa, who is the league's top scorer. His exclusion from the squad has raised eyebrows, as many felt his goal-scoring form could prove vital for the Warriors' success in these crucial encounters.
With just two matches left in the qualifying campaign, the Warriors are focused on securing the results needed to keep their Afcon hopes alive, and Maswanhise's inclusion is seen as an important boost as they look to make a final push for qualification.
