AFCON 2025: Emmerson Mnangagwa directs $400,000 boost toward Zimbabwe’s tournament preparations
President Emmerson Mnangagwa directs $400,000 toward Zimbabwe’s preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, strengthening the Warriors’ build-up to the continental tournament starting on 21 December 2025.
He demonstrates strong backing for the national side as they ramp up their competitive readiness.
Mnangagwa’s contribution aims to elevate the team’s training conditions, logistical planning, and overall morale ahead of their return to African football’s biggest stage.
He signals the government’s determination to support the Warriors as they prepare to represent the country in Morocco.
The Minister of Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture, Lieutenant General Anselem Sanyatwe, leads the process and monitors the use of the funds.
He works closely with the national team’s management to ensure players, coaches, and staff receive the necessary resources during the build-up.
The Warriors intend to maximise every aspect of their preparation, and the financial boost offers an opportunity to strengthen training camps, improve travel arrangements, and enhance player conditioning.
Mnangagwa’s move highlights his desire to see Zimbabwe compete with confidence and pride as they return to a major international tournament.
With the countdown to AFCON 2025 already underway, Zimbabwe focuses on maintaining stability, organisation, and high-performance standards.
The national team views the government’s financial backing as a vital step that reinforces belief within the squad and signals unity across the country.
