He was an unused substitute against Angola.<\/p>\n<p>Despite starting just one game, Maswanhise\u2019s strong performance in the final Group B match did not go unnoticed, and the 23-year-old has been named among the promising stars at AFCON.<\/p>\n<p>This was confirmed by ZIFA in a post congratulating the forward, saying:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to Tawanda Maswanhise for being named among the Most Promising Talents at AFCON 2025.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou are not just making history, you are inspiring it.
