CAF Refuses To Re-Inspect Zimbabwe's Stadiums

The regional soccer body CAF has reportedly snubbed ZIFA’s plea to reinspect Zimbabwe stadia after it banned the later from hosting any international matches on the banner that they don’t conform to standards, The Chronicle reports.

A source close to the developments spoke to the publication and said:

Chances of convincing Caf now look very minimal but not all hope is lost. Consultations are still on going because there’s a feeling that since there was a Government guarantee, evidenced by work that is being done at Barbourfields Stadium, maybe we may get some reprieve.

Meanwhile, ZIFA has secured South Africa’s Orlando stadium for upcoming Zimbabwe versus Algeria AFCON 2021 Qualifier to be played this month.
