Rwanda have announced their provisional squad for next month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers Group C fixture against Zimbabwe.
The Warriors will host the Matchday 8 encounter at Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg on Tuesday, 9 September 2025, at 3 PM CAT.
Zimbabwe, who have already used Orlando Stadium earlier in the qualifiers, will continue to play their “home” matches at neutral venues due to the unavailability of FIFA-approved stadiums in the country.
During the September international window, Rwanda will also take on Nigeria.
