*Harare, 13 June 2025* - The Zimbabwe Cheetahs have announced their 12-man squad for the 2025 Rugby Africa Men’s Sevens Cup, to be held in Mauritius from June 21 to 22.
Head coach Ricky Paul Chirengende leads a team that blends seasoned talent and promising newcomers, including players from Zimbabwe’s 15s side, the Sables. The Cheetahs are in Pool C alongside hosts Mauritius, Tunisia, and Madagascar.
Zimbabwe opens their campaign with three group matches on June 21, needing a top-two finish to advance to the knockout stages. A strong performance could pave the way to the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series.
