Bournemouth defender Jordan Zemura says he is looking forward to what the future holds for the country’s senior men’s national soccer team, the Warriors.
The 21-year-old made his international debut for Zimbabwean when Zdravko Logarusic’s charges played Algeria in back to back Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers and took part in both the 1-3 defeat in Algiers and the 2-2 draw in Harare last month.
Speaking on the club’s TV after inking a new deal which keeps him at the Vitality Stadium until 2022 yesterday, the left-back said he has his sights set on a bright future with the Zimbabwe national team. He said:
Playing for Zimbabwe is something I’m really proud of and I’m looking forward to what the future holds and how the team can grow to be a football giant in Africa.
Zemura said the Warriors should target the 2026 edition of the FIFA World Cup.
