Marinica sets fitness standards as Warriors prepare for AFCON


Warriors coach Marian Marinica has outlined the standards he expects from the national team players as AFCON preparations continue.

The Warriors started the camp on Monday with the locally-based based group starting reporting for duty on Sunday evening, while a few foreign-based players trooping later.

Giving an assessment on the team’s preparations so far, Marinica said:

“The fitness element is critical because you have to be able to sustain high-intensity activity, and as a player you must be capable of playing at least two matches of 90 minutes each.

“If you cannot play two matches for 90 minutes, then it becomes very difficult.

“We need to have the fittest players possible.”

The Afcon tournament is set to start on 21 December 2025 in September.
