Zimbabwe national women\u2019s team<\/a> has failed to pitch up for their 2022 Olympic qualifier, second round, second leg encounter which was set for National Sport Stadium at 3 pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Mighty Warriors reportedly refused to play in protest over the outstanding bonuses from the COSAFA<\/a> Women Championship held last month.<\/p>\n

They are trailing 5-0 on aggregate after a poor show in the first leg played in Zambia on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The team travelled over 1000km to and from Lusaka by road to fulfill the encounter.<\/p>\n

And a few days ago, it was revealed the players will get reduced bonuses for taking part in the qualifier.<\/p>\n

Zifa claims the reduced earnings and travelling long trips by road are some of the austerity measures introduced by the association meant to cut spending.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the second leg will be given to Zambia on a 3-0 scoreline while Zimbabwe who represented Africa at the 2014 Olympics is now facing a heavy punishment which could come as a ban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
