As Zimbabwe’s Warriors prepare for their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Nigeria, they have received a significant boost from their government. President Emmerson D. Mnangagwa has announced a $150,000 winning bonus for each victory in their qualification campaign, a move aimed at inspiring the team to push for a historic spot at the World Cup.
This financial pledge follows the government’s earlier allocation of $1 million to support the Warriors’ participation in the CAF Africa Cup of Nations Finals. In an official statement, the government reaffirmed its commitment to the development of football in Zimbabwe and called on the nation to rally behind the team.
With a spirited comeback against Benin Republic, where they fought back from a two-goal deficit, Zimbabwe has shown resilience and determination. Now, as they prepare to face Nigeria at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on March 25, they are looking to capitalize on this momentum.
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles, struggling with only three points from their first four matches, are under immense pressure to revive their qualification hopes. With Zimbabwe hungry for victory and backed by financial incentives, an intense battle awaits in Uyo. Can the Warriors pull off a stunning upset, or will Nigeria finally turn their campaign around?
All eyes will be on Uyo as the drama unfolds.
