Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. The Zimbabwe senior men’s football team, the Warriors have made a considerable recovery on the latest FIFA Rankings released on Wednesday.
Zimbabwe dropped four places at the start of the 2021 international football season to number 112, but have moved five spots up to number 107 in the world.
The Warriors beat Botswana 1-0 and then lost 0-2 to Zambia in last month’s AFCON qualifiers and as a result dropped 0.5 points on the latest rankings.
