Zimbabwe head coach Michael Nees has named his final 24-man Warriors squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Rwanda.
The Warriors will travel to face Benin on Friday, September 5, at the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium, before returning to host Rwanda four days later at Orlando Stadium.

Zimbabwe currently sits at the bottom of Group C with just four points from six matches, nine points behind group leaders Bafana Bafana.
With their qualification hopes now hanging by a thread, the Warriors cannot afford to drop any more points as only four games are left to be played.
Nees announced the squad on Thursday afternoon, with a few key changes. Notably, former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns star Khama Billiat has been left out due to injury.
Billiat is joined on the sidelines by Brentford goalkeeper Marley Tavaziva, who also misses out through injury. On a positive note, Marvelous Nakamba makes his return to the national team after an extended absence.
The squad features several experienced names, including former Orlando Pirates duo Terrence Dzvukamanja and Marshall Munetsi, while ex-Amakhosi forward Knowledge Musona has also been included.
