Flint Town United defender Alec Mudimu has been selected in the Zimbabwe squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a return to the international fold for the 30-year-old, who had retired from representing his nation at the start of this year having won the most recent of his 26 caps in November 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he accepted new head coach Mario Marinic’s invitation of a call-up to the AFCON preliminary squad and subsequent training camp over the last two weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be a third AFCON for Mudimu, who was also selected in Zimbabwe’s squad for the tournament in 2019 – while playing for Cefn Druids – and 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defender, who also previously played for Caernarfon Town, joined Flint for a third spell in the summer and has made 13 appearances in the JD Cymru Premier this season – scoring once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimbabwe begin the AFCON group stage against Mohamed Salah’s Egypt on 22 December, before also facing Angola (26 December) and South Africa (29 December). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
