Businessmen Wicknell Chivayo and Scott Sakupwanya have pledged a generous donation of $250,000 to the Warriors in celebration of their qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The national football team secured their spot in the tournament with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Kenya in Polokwane, South Africa, last Friday, achieving the second qualification position in Group J.
Chivayo took to social media platform X to express his support for local sports, stating, “In unwavering support of local sports, HON. SCOTT SAKUPWANYA and I are proud to announce a small donation of USD250,000 to the Warriors. This gesture serves as a token of appreciation for their exceptional achievement in raising Zimbabwe’s flag high on the continental stage.”

Having previously supported the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) during Philip Chiyangwa’s tenure, Chivayo noted that the donation will be formally handed over once they return from a business trip to France.
He added, “Upon our return from Paris next week, and after all necessary protocols have been observed through the MINISTRY OF SPORTS, we will officially present this contribution for the team’s collective benefit.”
