ZIFA Keen On Engaging Europe Based Trio

Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) have renewed interest in trying to lure England based Macaulay Bonne and Tendai Darikwa as well as Yasser Chapfika who is based in Spain to come and play for the Warriors.

Among the three, it’s only Colchester forward Macaulay Bonne made an appearance for the Warriors following his debut in November 2014 in an international friendly match against Morocco in which he scored.

Warriors’ caretaker team manager Wellington Mpandare said they were looking for good players to feature for the team.

“I am working with the coaches and they have asked me to monitor and secure contacts for all these players. You know our coaches are committed elsewhere and might not be able to monitor how each and every player is doing at their club, who is injured and not and so forth.

“We also want to take advantage of the fact that it will be off-season when the match is played. Right now I am talking to Bonne, he has expressed his willingness to play for the Warriors.

“He scored last week for Colchester and his season has ended. Our contact will be meeting Darikwa’s parents. Remember some of these players have never been here or left the country when they were still very young, so there is need for support from their parents.

“But we are doing all that we can to give every Zimbabwean player based outside the country a chance to be called into the national team and the coach will select his final squad,” said Mpandare.
