*ZIFA Finalises Sticking Issues With Mapeza* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?nu The announcement of the 40-man Warriors provisional squad for next month’s Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon has been delayed due to the absence of a national team coach after Norman Mapeza’s contract expired at the end of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. The Warriors are scheduled to get into camp in Harare on Thursday and then depart for Cameroon on 29 December but the provisional squad is yet to be announced. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage, 4GB RAM $119 USD WhatsApp: +263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 Buy Online: https://www.pindula.co.zw/market/itel-s24-128gb-22-20240426142756795795/?s=wanews ---------- Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) general manager for national teams, Wellington Mpandare said they submitted a squad of 40 players to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) some weeks ago. He said: > We didn’t have a coach, there were issues that we were just finalising with the head coach, remember he had a contract that expired in December so there were just a few issues that we were sorting out, we have managed to sort those things out. > We will sit down by tomorrow (today) or Monday, come up with a final position on who will be coming into camp on the 23rd. Mapeza was initially appointed Warriors coach on an interim basis to finish off Zimbabwe’s remaining 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers following the sacking of Zdravko Logarusic in September. Mpandare also said they are making efforts to register Prince Dube who was initially not part of the provisional squad since he was injured. Dube, who plays for Azam in Tanzania, is now back playing for his club after spending considerable time sidelined by injury. Said Mpandare: > Prince (Dube) was a player that was not part of the 40, he was not part of the 40 registered players but we are trying to register him now that he is fit and playing. > We are talking with CAF, I had made a request that we would probably need to add more players because we could not come up with the final 40 because our league was just starting. I think we will be successful in registering him. Zimbabwe takes on Senegal on 10 January, and then face Malawi on 14 January before they complete their Group B fixtures against Guinea four days later. *More: The Sunday News* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
