Caf bans all local stadia
Tawanda Tafirenyika ·
THE Warriors’ 2021 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) and 2022 World Cup bids have been dealt a huge blow after the Confederation of African Football (Caf) condemned all Zimbabwean stadia for failure to satisfy the minimum international standards.
The ban is an indictment on the Zimbabwean government and means that the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) would be forced to look for venues beyond the borders for its national teams’ assignments.
Reigning Zimbabwean football champions FC Platinum, who are due to play in the next Caf African Champions League campaign have also been affected by the ban.
