Government has reaffirmed its commitment to national football by pledging substantial financial incentives to the Zimbabwe senior men’s national team, the Warriors, ahead of their crucial FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
In a bid to motivate the team, President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced a winning bonus of US$150 000 for the players, technical team, and support staff for each victory in their upcoming matches against Benin on March 20 and Nigeria on March 25.
“This means that, over and above the US$1 million already allocated by the government for the CAF Africa Cup of Nations Finals, the Warriors stand to earn an additional US$300,000 should they secure wins in both fixtures,” read the official statement.
“The nation is urged to rally behind the team as they carry our hopes and pride onto the field,” the statement emphasised.
With high stakes in the upcoming qualifiers, the financial boost is expected to serve as an extra source of motivation for the Warriors. Fans across the country are being called upon to lend their unwavering support as the team strives to secure a place on the global stage.
