The Warriors of Zimbabwe have officially announced their 23-man squad for this month’s eagerly anticipated Unity Cup 2026, taking place at the hallowed turf of The Valley, home to Charlton Athletic FC, from May 26th to May 30th.
The Unity Cup, the premier international football tournament celebrating AfroCentric and global diaspora communities, is officially returning to its historic home with the high-stakes African heavyweight rematch between Nigeria and Zimbabwe kicking off proceedings on Tuesday, May 26th.
The opening semi-final serves as a massive rematch following their intense 2025 CAF World Cup qualifying encounters.
With the memories of those hard-fought qualifiers still fresh, the Super Eagles and the Warriors will look to settle the score on neutral ground.
The second semi-final sees India take on Jamaica in an unmissable ‘Culture Clash’ on Wednesday, May 27th, a fixture that promises to be as much a spectacle in the stands as it is on the pitch.
Grand finals day takes place on Saturday, May 30th, with the third-place play-off anticipated to kick off at 2.30 pm, followed by the final at 7.30 pm.
The finals will deliver the same electric mix of entertainment and culture that defined the memorable 2025 event.
