The Government of Zimbabwe, through the Sports and Recreation Commission, has approved the participation of the Warriors in the CHAN 2020 tournament in Cameroon in under two weeks time.
A statement from the Zimbabwe Football Association read:
The Zimbabwe Football Association advises the nation that our application to proceed with participation at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) has been approved by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC).
This follows the government’s recent suspension of all sporting activities in a national effort to reduce the spread of covid-19.
The team is still in camp, self-isolating, after recording 15 positive tests for covid-19. Players and officials who tested positive on 28 December 2020 will be tested again on 10th January 2021.
We wish all those who tested positive a swift recovery.
The delegation departs for Cameroon on 13 January 2021.
Zimbabwe kick off the tournament with a tie against the hosts Cameroon.
The Warriors will feel undercooked as most of the their players have not had competitive football since 2019.
