Venue: Alassane Ouattara Stadium, Abidjan, Ivory Coast (neutral ground)
Kick-off: Friday, 6:00 PM CAT
Today Zim Warriors resume their Group C campaign against Benin at the same venue that staged the 2023 AFCON final. The Cheetahs are once again forced to host “home” fixtures away from Cotonou because of CAF stadium regulations, and Abidjan has become their base.
The Warriors have already settled into camp in Ivory Coast. Coach Michael Nees reports that the squad is in good fitness and in high spirits, with the calm environment at their hotel helping final preparations.
