Marinica Names Final Warriors Squad — Munetsi, Zemura Miss Out

Marian Marinica has named his squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, with Marshall Munetsi and Jordan Zemura missing out due to injuries.

Walter Musona has also been left out after failing a fitness test at the start of camp.

The tournament runs from 21 December 2025 to 18 January 2026. Zimbabwe open their campaign against Egypt on 22 December at the Grand Stade d’Agadir at 7 PM CAT.
