Warriors squad for COSAFA Cup named

Jairos Tapera has named his squad for the 2024 COSAFA Cup tournament in South Africa in July.

The squad is composed mostly of locally-based players and a couple of UK-based stars such as Miley Tavaziva, Shane Maroodza and Joey Phuthi.

Highlanders striker Lynoth Chikuhwa has been included following public outcry after he was excluded in the previous selections.
