Zimbabwe have named a formidable Warriors squad for their Unity Cup semi-final clash against Nigeria’s Super Eagles in London later this month.

The tournament, running from May 26 to 30, features Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Jamaica, and India.

According to the Zimbabwe Football Association, the squad includes many experienced players based across Europe and Africa.

The Warriors, who have a new head coach in Kaitano Tembo, are expected to provide stern opposition to the three-time African champions as both teams prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Unity Cup aims to promote football unity and strengthen sporting ties among the participating nations through competitive matches.
