Govt pressured to fix NSS

GOVERNMENT is desperately trying to avert a potentially embarrassing situation where the Warriors could be forced to play their home Fifa  2022 World Cup qualifiers out of the country due to failure to complete renovations at the National Sports Stadium (NSS) as was demanded by the Confederation of African Football (Caf).

While Zimbabwe was allowed to host its Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers at the facility, Caf warned that the country might lose the right if the demands are not met.

One of the main outstanding issues is the bucket seats and yesterday, the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) said the seats would have been installed by the time the qualifiers begin in June.
