It’s less than a fortnight before the start of the 2016 African Women Nations Cup in Cameroon and the Mighty Warriors have just that to prepare as they get ready to take on Africa’s best at the top Women’s tournament.

The biennial showcase kicks off in Yaoundé, Cameroon, on November 19 to December 3.

The Mighty Warriors played a hastily-arranged friendly match against Egypt last month, which they won 2-1.

However, Mlauzi used a makeshift side after some league teams declined to release their players for national duty.

Zimbabwe, who also had poor preparations for their Olympic Games debut in August, are in Group A at the AWCON finals together with hosts Cameroon, Egypt and neighbours South Africa.

The Mighty Warriors open their account against South Africa on November 19 before facing Egypt three days later.

They complete their group matches against Cameroon on November 25, with the top two teams proceeding to the semi-finals.
