FC Cincinnati center back Teenage Hadebe has been named to the Zimbabwe National Team roster for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations starting later this month in Morocco, the Zimbabwean Football Association has announced.
Hadebe helped Zimbabwe qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations for the sixth time in the county’s history, for the first time since 2021. The Warriors were one of 24 African nations to qualify for this year’s edition of AFCON, a biennial tournament to crown the champion of the continent.
This year’s tournament marks Hadebe’s fourth time being named to a Zimbabwe roster for an AFCON tournament (2017, 2019, 2021). He has made five-career appearances in the tournament.
Zimbabwe are in Group B and will take on Egypt (Dec. 22), Angola (Dec. 26) and South Africa (Dec. 29). The top-two countries in each group, plus the top-four third-place finishers, will advance to the knockout stages.
The Bulawayo, Zimbabwe native earned his 50th career cap for his country last month. Hadebe made 31 appearances for FC Cincinnati in 2025.
