Govt Sets Aside ZWL$1.2 Billion For The Renovation Of Stadiums

The government has pledged to provide ZWL$1.2 billion for the renovation of sporting and recreational facilities in the country, including the National Sports Stadium.

The National Sports Stadium is the main venue for hosting international matches but was banned by CAF as it does not meet the required standards.

In his 2023 national budget presentation, Minister of Finance Mthuli Ncube allocated ZWL$1.2 billion to sport and recreation. He said:

With regards to sport and recreation, ZWL$1.2 billion has been set aside for the rehabilitation and upgrading of sports facilities and recreational centres, with the aim of modernisation to conform to international standards.

Some of the priorities include the National Sports Stadium, Khumalo and Magamba Hockey Stadiums and refurbishment of Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex swimming pools and general purpose halls.

The Warriors are currently banned from international football but even if the suspension is lifted, the country has no proper venue to host international matches.

The National Sports Stadium requires bucket seats and electronic turnstiles, setting up a functional Venue Operations Centre (VOC), and renovation of B – Arena, among other things. | Soccer24
