Tawanda Maswanhise Named Among AFCON 2025’s Most Promising Talents
Zimbabwean winger Tawanda Maswanhise has been named among the Most Promising Talents at the just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 finals by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The 23-year-old, who currently plays for Motherwell FC, earned the nod after a breathtaking individual performance in Zimbabwe’s final Group B match against South Africa, despite the Warriors losing 2-3.

Standout Performance Against South Africa
Maswanhise’s display against familiar regional rivals was the highlight of Zimbabwe’s campaign. The CAF organisers were particularly impressed by a moment when he took on South African defenders head-on, leaving Sphephelo Sithole trailing with a sharp change of direction.
His performance in that single match proved enough to convince CAF to include him alongside Cameroon’s Christian Kofane and Côte d’Ivoire’s Inao Oula among the tournament’s three Most Promising Talents.
Zimbabwe Football Association Congratulates Rising Star
The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) took to social media to celebrate Maswanhise’s achievement.
“Congratulations to Tawanda Maswanhise for being named among the Most Promising Talents at AFCON 2025! 
You are not just making history, you are inspiring it. Zimbabwe couldn’t be prouder! #TotalEnergiesAFCON2025 #Awards #Warriors”
The recognition marks a significant milestone for Maswanhise, highlighting Zimbabwe’s growing footprint in African football talent.
