As Zimbabwe’s Warriors prepare for a crucial World Cup qualifier against Nigeria, Udinese wing-back Jordan Zemura is rallying his teammates for an all-or-nothing battle.

With the team languishing in sixth place, just behind Nigeria in fifth, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Despite a disappointing start to the qualifiers, Zemura remains defiant, believing there’s still hope.

“We are obviously in a not-so-ideal situation,” the former Bournemouth star admitted. “But with six games left and 18 points up for grabs, we have a fair chance. Only five points separate us from the leaders, and that means everything is still possible.”

Zimbabwe first faces Benin today before their clash against the Super Eagles in Uyo next Tuesday. Zemura, who shares a dressing room with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye at Udinese, knows the magnitude of the task ahead.

“We need to give maximum energy and concentration. The details—big and small—matter now. Attention is everything,” he emphasized.

With determination in his voice, Zemura and his teammates are ready to fight for their World Cup dream. All eyes now turn to their performance, as they seek to turn the tide in the qualifiers.
