Ascot Stadium not being leased, council says

THE Gweru City Council has said they are not leasing out Ascot stadium but have rather opened their arms to corporates and private players willing to help them maintain the facility.

Officials denied that the stadium is set to be leased and that there were no such plans.

The stadium, however, is in a deplorable state and remains on the ZIFA First Instance Board(FIB) blacklist for failure to meet standardisation requirements.
