Nations (AFCON).<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors are set to take part in the tournament, which kicks off in just over six weeks\u2019 time in Morocco.<\/p>\n<p>According to Magwizi, the ZIFA Executive Committee and other key stakeholders are working tirelessly to ensure the national team is well prepared for the 2025 AFCON finals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are going to Morocco, and of course, we are preparing to put our best foot forward come December,\u201d Magwizi said on SuperSport TV.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a number of areas we are focusing on as a new administration to ensure we have a solid technical team that can support the players and help us achieve respectable results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ZIFA is also in the process of appointing a new Warriors coach following the dismissal of Michael Nees last week.<\/p>\n<p>The new coach is expected to be named in the coming week, well ahead of the international friendlies against World Cup-bound sides Qatar and Algeria during the November window.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- \n\n<footer class=\"entry-footer\">\n\t\t<span
