The situation in the Warriors camp has returned to normalcy after players received their camping allowances and appearance fees. This has allowed them to resume training for their crucial FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Earlier, the players had refused to train in protest over unpaid allowances and fees. However, the issue was resolved when the ZIFA Normalisation Committee transferred the money into the players’ bank accounts.

Sources from the players have confirmed that they are returning to training, which eventually took place on Friday afternoon. Zimbabwe is eager to kick-start their campaign with a victory against Nigeria, following a goalless draw against Rwanda in their opening group match. Nigeria is also seeking their first win after a surprising 1-1 draw against Lesotho.

In a controversial move, the ZIFA Normalisation Committee has blocked journalists from covering the Warriors’ training session. This decision comes as a result of ZIFA’s anger towards the media for reporting on the training boycott that occurred on Thursday.
