Once again, Zimbabwe to use Orlando Stadium in SA for AFCON qualifiers

Must Try

Trending

The Zimbabwe Warriors will once again use Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa as their home ground for the upcoming back-to-back AFCON qualifiers against Namibia next month.

This comes barely four months after hosting Lesotho at the same venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The crucial fixtures are scheduled for October 10 and 14 respectively.

Both Zimbabwe and Namibia have no CAF certified stadiums to host their international matches on home soil.

As a result, they have been forced to play their home matches in foreign land after their stadiums were banned.

Consequently, The Brave Warriors of Namibia have also opted for the Soweto based Orlando Stadiums.

They will host the first leg on October 10 at 3pm while Zimbabwe will host the second leg at the same venue four days later with a 6pm kick-off time.

Following the ongoing stadium crisis, Zimbabwe has so far used Huye in Rwanda, Mandela National in Uganda and Orlando to host their opponents.
