The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has recommended improvements to Barbourfields Stadium and the National Sports Stadium for the two stadiums to meet the continental body’s standards before being certified.
The two stadiums were inspected at the beginning of the month. Caf deputy secretary-general for football and development advised Zifa that the facilities have almost similar shortcomings, with the major one being improvement of the pitch. Caf inspected the National Sports Stadium, Barbourfields Stadium and Zvishavane’s Mandava Stadium.
Caf also recommended implementation of a uniform signage system around Barbourfields stadium to facilitate entry or exit of people. It also wants clear adequate signposts to guide spectators to their sectors.
