Former Zimbabwe captain Knowledge Musona has urged his teammates to step up and secure maximum points against Nigeria and Benin in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, Soccernet.ng reports .

Zimbabwe , currently bottom of Group C with two points, will first face joint leaders Benin on March 20 before a high-stakes clash against Nigeria in Uyo five days later.
