The Zimbabwe Senior Women’s National Team, the Mighty Warriors, will now compete in a three-nation tournament in Lilongwe following changes to the initial competition format. Scheduled for Bingu National Stadium, the tournament will also feature hosts Malawi and Zambia.
The adjustment comes after revised communication from the tournament organisers. Despite the modification, the Mighty Warriors remain firmly focused on their mission and are preparing to put on strong performances against two respected regional rivals. Preparations are already underway in Harare, where Head Coach Sithethelelwe “Kwinji 15” Sibanda and her technical team are overseeing training with a 30-player provisional squad. This group will be reduced to 23 players before the team travels to Malawi.

The Association will share further details, including the final squad and match schedule, as soon as they are confirmed.
