National football team is likely to have to play all its home matches in SA
Zimbabwe has no stadium fit to host international football matches and might be forced to play all its home football matches in SA.
These stars will, however, not get the opportunity to play for their country at home after the Confederation of African Football this week condemned all the country’s stadiums as unfit to host any games. Officials at Zifa said the most plausible option for Zimbabwe was to host its international matches in SA.
Sports broadcaster Steve Vickers said the stadium ban was “embarrassing and will be costly for Zimbabwe, but it comes as a result of inaction by the authorities”.
