Warriors captain Nakamba hails Scott

Sports Reporter

WARRIORS captain Marvelous Nakamba has hailed Scottland FC owner, Pedzai “Scott” Sakupwanya, for his efforts in transforming lives of footballers in Zimbabwe.

The Luton Town midfielder, who is set to join the national team on Monday, also believes Zimbabwe has a big chance of qualifying for the 2025 African Cup of Nations finals which are set for Morocco.

Sakupwanya, through his business entity BetterBrands Petroleum, sponsors the Warriors kit.

Zimbabwe need at least a point when they face Kenya in a Group J qualifier in Polokwane on November 15, for them to book a sixth appearance at the AFCON finals.

Sakupwanya’s club, Scottland FC, also need a victory against Black Mambas at Rufaro on Friday to win the Northern Region Soccer League championship and ticket to the Premier Soccer League.

“I would like to send my best wishes to Scottland FC ahead of their final game on Friday.

“To the owner Scott Sakupwanya, thank you for uplifting, supporting and changing lives for the players and not forgetting the help you give to the national team,” wrote Nakamba on his X account Wednesday evening.

Sakupwanya has grabbed the headlines for dangling huge incentives for his players.

Apart from getting a Toyota Aqua each for beating Herentals U20 last Friday, Scottland FC players are also set to get US$10,000 each if they win promotion into the PSL.
