Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) president Nqobile Magwizi believes Chahwanda Stadium could host the next Mukuru 4 Nations Cup, although the venue is still waiting for final approval from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
CAF inspectors visited the facility in February as part of the homologation process, and ZIFA hopes approval will come soon.
Magwizi toured the stadium in Kwekwe on Friday, 26 June. He was joined by ZIFA vice-president Loveness Mukura, board member for Infrastructure Development Brighton Ushendibaba, and marketing board member Kudzai Kadzombe.
Speaking during the visit, Magwizi said Zimbabwe wants to host the next Mukuru 4 Nations Cup and believes Chahwanda Stadium would be an ideal venue if CAF gives it the green light.
“Those of you who remember, we had the Four Nations Mukuru Cup in Botswana early this year,” he said.
“There is a possibility that we can convince our colleagues, so that we can have it in Zimbabwe.
“Definitely, this is a viable venue for such a tournament if we get the homologation out of the way.”
Magwizi said ZIFA is in regular contact with CAF officials and will keep engaging them until the inspection process for Chahwanda Stadium is complete.
“We are working closely with CAF. We brought them here in February, and they left a report. We’re going to invite them again and have that homologation done.”
