The Zimbabwe Football Association has confirmed that the Warriors will take on South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in a 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier on Friday, 10 October 2025 at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00 PM CAT.

This Match Day 9 clash in the CAF World Cup Qualifiers promises to be one of the most eagerly awaited games of the campaign. With national pride at stake and the chance to upset a regional rival, the match promises intensity, drama, and football of the highest quality.

The Warriors are no strangers to Durban, having played at Moses Mabhida Stadium earlier this year in March. That outing produced a thrilling 2-2 draw against Benin, with Prince Dube and Knowledge Musona finding the net. The performance showed the team’s resilience and ability to rise to the occasion on foreign soil, qualities they will look to replicate against South Africa.

Supporters can look forward to ticketing details and official travel packages, which will be announced soon to make it easier for fans to journey to Durban. The presence of Zimbabwean fans in the stands will provide an extra boost as the team looks to finish the campaign on a high.
