Zimbabwe forward Knowledge Musona is confident the Warriors can secure a famous victory over Nigeria.
Michael Nees’ side are yet to record a win in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying series.
The Warriors occupy bottom spot in Group C with two points from four matches.
They will host the Cheetahs of Benin Republic at Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban on Thursday.
Zimbabwe will be away to the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo next week Tuesday.
Musona boasted that the Warriors can win both games.
“I’m happy to be back and looking forward to the upcoming games. My first training session was good, and I’ve seen a lot of quality,” Musona told Zimbabwe new outlet news day.
“I think the future is bright for the Warriors, and I’m eager to help these young players and contribute to their development.
“In football, anything is possible, and it starts with this next game. The priority is to secure three points against Benin before focusing on Nigeria.
“With the quality in this squad, I believe we can achieve maximum points. It all depends on the effort we put in during training and, most importantly, in the matches.
“I strongly believe in this team, and personally, I would love for us to win both games to keep our World Cup qualification hopes alive.”

Hey Nigeria my country don suffer. All this because our stupid leaders. Imagine this one saying that he will beat the eagles in Nigeria.
Some people will just open their mouths and talk nonsense. If you want to beat us in Lagos why can’t you keep it to yourself?
You are not even scared of our front line.
Ejo gbogbo yin ko. (It’s not your fault)
In fact,I read his statement with dismay and disgust . Zimbabwe player also dreaming of defeating Nigeria right in our backyard. Had it been out leaders put good structure on ground in all ramifications in Nigeria, our football level would have benefited immensely therefore matching the likes of Brazil,Spain, Germany etc. So how on Earth could Zimbabwe citizen now open his loose mouth to say trash, however l believe the team will meet their Waterloo in Nigeria next week by God’s grace.
@Tee Baa what did you expect when our so called leaders have messed our football up with politics? Well I don’t blame the guy, he can say what he want to say but all I can tell him is let them win Benin Republic first before coming to Nigeria because them go collect am wotowoto.
Hey be careful of what you wish yourself and don’t forget you are playing against the Super Eagles and they play well when they are under pressure
As for me, I no kuku blame am. Na we cause am. And when I say we, of course the lion share of the blame goes to none other than our lovely NFF ONIGBESE.
If we dey give teams wotowoto both home and away in our recent games, this one for get mouth to talk? These ones that should be shaking and shivering with fear at the thought of coming to Nigeria to play, actually have the boldness and temerity to declare that they will beat us on our home turf? Haba!
Is it not because we’ve been messing up and dropping points here and there, that people like this now feel they can talk anyhow?
Starting with Rwanda on Friday, we need to bring out the big stick and start administering some serious spankings. We have to start beating teams silly. Beat them to a stupor, beat them black and blue.
This is the only way we will get our respect back. Otherwise, we will continue to receive this kind of disrespect.
So indeed, no be em fault. Na we cause am!
