The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), together with the entire football family, congratulates Simba Bhora for their crucial 1-0 away victory over Eswatini’s Nsingizini Hotspurs in the first leg of their continental assignment played last Sunday at the Obedi Itan Chilume Stadium in Francistown, Botswana.

This achievement is more than just a win on the pitch, it is a proud moment for our country, as Simba Bhora flies the Zimbabwean flag high in continental football.

As the decisive return leg approaches this Sunday, ZIFA wishes to reaffirm its unwavering support for the team. Every Zimbabwean is united in rallying behind you, urging you on to secure qualification into the next round. The Association believes that with focus, determination, and collective spirit, Simba Bhora will once again rise to the occasion.

On a personal note, as President of ZIFA, I wish to commend the players, technical team, and leadership of Simba Bhora for their resilience and commitment. Your journey inspires countless young footballers across our nation and strengthens the vision we have for the future of our game. Play with courage, play with pride, and know that you carry the hopes of a nation with you.

Go well Simba Bhora, and make Zimbabwe proud.
