Mighty Warriors coach Sithethelelwe “Kwinji 15” Sibanda has announced the final squad for the 2026 COSAFA Women’s Championship.
The tournament will be staged in Polokwane, South Africa, from 18 February to 1 March 2026, with eleven teams from across the region set to take part in the competition.
Zimbabwe was drawn in Group B alongside defending champions Zambia, Botswana and Eswatini.
The Mighty Warriors will begin their campaign on 19 February against Eswatini at 12 noon at Seshego Stadium.
They will then face Zambia on 22 February at 3 pm CAT at Old Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The women’s national team will return to Seshego Stadium for their final Group B match against Botswana on 24 February. Kick-off is at 12 noon.
The top team in each pool will advance to the semi-finals, along with the best runner-up. Because there are three teams in Group C, results against the bottom-placed sides in Groups A and B will be disregarded for the purposes of that calculation.
