THE Zimbabwe women’s football Under-17 national team has been eliminated from the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifiers following a heavy 4-1 defeat to Uganda at FUFA Stadium in Kadiba.
Coming into the decisive encounter with hopes of overturning their fortunes following last week’s 2-0 defeat in their own backyard, the Young Mighty Warriors were outclassed by a clinical Ugandan side that capitalised on poor defending.
On aggregate, Zimbabwe has recorded a 6-1 defeat, which is one of the highest among first-round matches of the competition.
Uganda will now face Kenya, who beat Namibia in the next round, before making it to the final round of the competition, which is set to be hosted by Morocco in November this year.
Zimbabwe’s poor outing during the World Cup qualifiers was contributed to by many factors, with poor preparations topping the list.
The Young Mighty Warriors only had one week of training camp ahead of the first leg played last week at Ngoni Stadium.
Other than that, the team’s humiliating defeat also exposed a lack of proper grassroots football structures in the country.
