Young Warriors Show Spirit Despite Defeat To England At U15 World Cup Festival It was a tough afternoon for Zimbabwe's Under-15s as the Young Warriors went down 0-2 to England at the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup & Festival 2026. From the first whistle, the Zimbabwe boys showed heart and discipline, working hard to stay organised against a well-drilled English side. England controlled more of the ball and tested the Young Warriors' defence early, but Zimbabwe remained compact, stayed in the fight and looked to hit on the break whenever possible. Despite the resilience, England found the breakthrough and later added a second to seal the result. At full time the scoreboard read 2-0, with no points for Zimbabwe on this occasion. It was a hard day at the office, but not without positives. The U15s fought to the final whistle, wore the badge with pride and gained invaluable experience against top-level opposition on the world stage. No points this time, but the journey is far from over. The Young Warriors are still in action at the inaugural FIFA U-15 World Cup & Festival, with more football to be played in the tournament stage and plenty to build on. The support remains strong. Heads up, boys. We go again. 🇿🇼 #gowarrriorsgo #worldcupfestival @online_zifa @MinSport_ArtsZw

LULA MAKES HISTORY AGAIN: BRAZIL'S LEFT-WING LEADER SECURES FOURTH TERM Lula's win in Brazil's runoff is being hailed as a historic comeback, but he is stepping into a tough spot. With a narrow 51.79% victory over Bolsonaro's 48.21%, the country remains deeply split, and Bolsonaro is not conceding, citing polling hour extensions. Key areas for Lula include poverty reduction, Amazon protection, and an independent foreign policy. Bridging Brazil's ideological divide will be crucial. #Lula #BrazilElections2026 #BrazilianElections

MAPEZA BOOTED OUT AS SCOTLAND COACH, NDLOVU TAKES REINS October 26, 2026 Sports Shockwaves have rocked the Zimbabwean football scene after Norman Mapeza was sacked as Scotland coach following their CAF Champions League exit in Angola. The veteran coach’s dismissal comes as no surprise, after the team failed to progress past the preliminary stages of the continental club competition. Mapeza’s departure comes after a disappointing run, and the club is now looking for a new coach to turn things around. The team is currently eight points behind league leaders Hardrock, with only four games left, making their chances of retaining the title slim. @ScottlandFC @DynamosFC1963 @HighlanderBosso @hardrockfc @capsunitedfczw @CHICKENINNFC1 @BulawayoChiefs
