Marvelous Nakamba Invites Aston Villa Teammates To Visit Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls

Zimbabwean international footballer Marvelous Nakamba, who is in the country for the season break, has invited his Aston Villa teammates to experience Victoria Falls to market Zimbabwe as a tourism destination.

The waterfall is a popular attraction for tourists from all over the world, contributing significantly to Zimbabwe’s gross domestic product. Speaking about the invite to his teammates, Nakamba said:

I am excited to be back home and looking forward to the projects that I have with the (Marvelous Nakamba) Foundation lined up. As you know the foundation is all about the youths as we try to support them in all possible ways we can be it academic, sport, or skills transfer, we are all about their empowerment and capacitation so that they reach their full potential.

Besides the Foundation I am also excited to be hosting my teammates from Aston Villa. I’m proud of my country hence I marketed Zimbabwe, especially Victoria Falls to my teammates at Aston Villa. John McGinn is coming in tomorrow and I’m expecting the other players to come in later on during the week. This is good for business and also for me as people will now know that Zimbabwe is a beautiful and safe place to visit.

Nakamba, who has been transfer-listed by Aston Villa, is expected to seal a permanent move to Luton town, where he played a vital role in their promotion to the English Premier League.

Zimbabwean sportspersons, including Marvelous Nakamba and Tino Kadewere, have been promoting Zimbabwean tourism. In 2021, Kadewere, a Zimbabwe Tourism Authority ambassador, enlisted Olympique Lyon teammates to promote the country, resulting in a video shared on social media. The video encouraged people to visit Zimbabwe and was shared by the ZTA and Lyon on Twitter. Kadewere was appointed tourism ambassador after meeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa at the State House in 2020.
