Zimbabwe Under-17 women's coach Lindiwe Ndlovu expressed confidence that her team can overcome a two-goal deficit against Uganda in the return leg of the World Cup qualifiers on April 18. The Mighty Warriors U-17 lost the first match 2-0 at home. These qualifiers are part of the path to the Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup, scheduled for October in Morocco. Ndlovu acknowledged early goals conceded in the first game but noted positive moments and scoring opportunities. She stated that defensive issues have been addressed in training, and the squad has responded well, understanding what is needed for the upcoming match in Uganda. Ndlovu emphasized the importance of mental strength, believing her players have gained confidence from the first encounter. Despite potential challenges of playing away, she drew parallels to past Cosafa tournaments where her team achieved a significant comeback, asserting that "anything is possible in football." A victory would be particularly meaningful as it coincides with Zimbabwe's Independence Day celebrations. Ndlovu also called for continued support for the team.
