The Warriors are counting on their supporters as they gear up for a crucial FIFA World Cup qualifier against Benin at Moses Mabhida Stadium tommorow. With their qualification hopes hanging in the balance, the team has vowed to give their all and is urging fans to rally behind them.

Head coach Michael Nees has made a key change to the squad, replacing the injured Marvelous Nakamba with Ngezi Platinum Stars midfielder Richard Hachiro. Nees expressed confidence in the team’s preparations and emphasized the importance of fan support.

Veteran forward Khama Billiat also underscored the impact of fans on the team’s performance, encouraging them to come out in numbers and promising that the players will deliver their best on the pitch.

The Warriors currently sit at the bottom of Group L with two points and face a tough challenge ahead. After their clash with Benin, they will take on Nigeria on 25 March 2025, as they seek to turn their campaign around.
