Like Kenya, Zimbabwe has been hosting its games abroad due to the lack of FIFA-approved stadiums and will face Kenya in Polokwane, South Africa
Zimbabwe, currently second in Group J with eight points—two points behind leaders Cameroon—needs at least a draw to secure qualification for AFCON. Kenya sits third with four points, while Namibia remains at the bottom without a point.
Heading into the match, Zimbabwe finds itself in a favorable position, holding a four-point lead over Kenya. A win would effectively seal their qualification for Morocco. Despite this advantage, Nees emphasizes that his team remains focused and will not leave anything to chance at Peter Mokaba Stadium.
“We’re looking forward to the match, and as always, we need to bring all the players together,” Nees stated. “We have three groups arriving, with the last one coming in on Tuesday morning, so we must get into gear quickly.
“We’re in a good position and want to control our own fate, but that doesn’t mean we can afford complacency. We have to make the final push, and the team has shown good spirit in previous camps, so I’m confident we’ll achieve this goal.”
