Experienced goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze has opened up on his Zimbabwean National Team ambitions following his impressive displays for Magesi FC in the SA top-flight.
In the current 2024/25 campaign, Chipezeze has featured in seven matches for Dikwena tsa Meetse across all competitions, keeping five clean sheets and only conceding four goals in the process.
His brilliance flourished further in the Carling Black Label Knockout Cup, where he played a crucial role in guiding Magesi to the tournament’s final. The Limpopo team is set to clash with Mamelodi Sundowns in the Carling Knockout Cup final on Saturday, 23 November 2024.
The final showdown between Magesi and Sundowns will take place at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein, with the kickoff time yet to be confirmed by the PSL.
To top it off, Chipezeze received the Man of the Match award in three straight games in the Carling Knockout Cup, voted by the fans for his exceptional performances.
WHAT ELVIS CHIPEZEZE SAID ABOUT ZIMBABWEAN POSSIBLE RETURN
The 34-year-old stated he is always prepared for the national team selection whenever the coach requires his services, including his fellow countryman Edmore Chirambadare, who has been performing well for Magesi.
“Well, when the opportunity comes, and the coach says he needs the boys to come, we are ready,” said Chipezeze in Polokwane.
“Like I said, when the time is right, we are just going to go there and make the nation proud because everyone wants to represent their country. If the chance comes, then we have to grab it with both hands and see where it takes us.”
The Warriors will take on Kenya in their upcoming 2025 AFCON qualifiers tie on Friday, 15 November 2024, at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium, with kick-off set for 18:00.
The last time the two sides met in the first-leg in September this year, they played out to a 0-0 draw at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape.
