ZIMBABWE’S senior men’s Sevens rugby side, the Cheetahs, have named their travelling squad for the 2025 Rugby Africa Men’s Sevens Cup set to take place in Mauritius from June 21 to 22.
With a renewed sense of purpose and pride, the Cheetahs are poised to reignite their continental campaign and challenge for glory in what promises to be a fiercely competitive tournament.
The Cheetahs are drawn in Pool C alongside tournament hosts Mauritius, Tunisia, and Madagascar.
Commenting on his squad, team head coach Ricky Chirengende expressed confidence in the group
“We have got a well-balanced squad that has earned its spots through hard work and consistency.
“Our preparations have been focused and deliberate, and now it’s time to go out there and perform.
“We are ready for the challenge,” he said.
Only the top two teams in each pool are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages, making every match a must-win encounter.
The last time Zimbabwe lifted the Rugby Africa Sevens title was in 2012, and coach Chirengende has the weight on his shoulders to end the trophy drought.
A top finish in Mauritius not only brings silverware but positions the Cheetahs for qualification pathways to the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series, a crucial step toward global competition and Olympic qualification.
