19th June 2019
Zimbabwe coach Sunday Chidzambwa says he is unfazed at the prospect of facing the host nation Egypt in the opening game of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations .
The Warriors will locks horns with The Pharaohs at Cairo International Stadium on Friday.
"We are in a difficult group in the finals and also that was the same in the qualifiers, but we managed to qualify. As we qualified, so why don't we make a new surprise," Chidzambwa said in a pre-match press conference Wednesday.
"We have veteran players who can deal with this atmosphere," the coach added when asked about playing the first match against the hosts.
Zimbabwe will play in Group A alongside hosts Egypt, Uganda and DR Congo.
