President Mnangagwa has pledged a US$150,000 bonus for the Zimbabwe Warriors for each win in World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Nigeria. A potential total of US$300,000 awaits if they triumph in both matches. This incentive accompanies previously assured governmental funding for their AFCON campaign, amidst challenges in hosting home games due to stadium issues.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa has announced a US$150,000 bonus for Zimbabwe’s national football team, the Warriors, for each victory in their upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Benin and Nigeria. If the team wins both matches, scheduled for March 20 and March 25, they could potentially earn US$300,000 in bonuses, in addition to the US$1 million previously committed by the government for the CAF Africa Cup of Nations campaign.
In conclusion, President Mnangagwa’s financial pledge represents not only a monetary incentive but also signifies governmental support for the Warriors as they aim for their first FIFA World Cup qualification. Despite current challenges in hosting international matches, the fervent backing from the government and the nation itself is expected to galvanize the team’s performance in the upcoming qualifiers.
