Warriors To Host AFCON Qualifier Against Cameroon In Uganda

The Warriors are set to play their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier home match against Cameroon in Uganda next month.

The team will first face Kenya on September 4 in their opening Group J match of the 2025 AFCON qualifiers.

According to NewsDay, ZIFA considered renting a stadium in South Africa for the Warriors’ home game against Cameroon on September 10.

The Warriors have strong support in South Africa due to a large Zimbabwean diaspora in the region.

However, for ZIFA, it makes more logistical sense for the Warriors to stay in Uganda after their match against Kenya.

ZIFA secretary-general Yvonne Manwa confirmed to NewsDay that the Warriors will remain in Uganda after their match against Kenya, as Kenya will host Zimbabwe in Kampala at the Mandela National Stadium.

Kenya lacks a CAF-certified stadium to host international matches, with both Nyayo Stadium and the Kasarani Sports Complex currently under renovation for the CHAN 2025 and AFCON 2027 tournaments.

Previously, Zimbabwe played Nigeria in Rwanda in November 2023 and hosted Lesotho in South Africa in June 2024 for the 2026 CAF World Cup qualifiers.

Looking ahead, Zimbabwe will play back-to-back matches against Namibia in October, also likely to be held in South Africa, as Namibia does not have a CAF-certified stadium.

a giant like zim with a sadc chair is failing to clean & get rid of all the littered plastics in Harare, turn it into bucket sits. -Minister of sport should visit H.I.T & partner it because honestly on politics ground we heard roads were redone but for sport lovers, your eyes are not worthy viewing your national team so grounds nobody cares about revamping them

It would have been the best idea to rent a stadium either in Botswana or South Africa. These countries are close to Zimbabwe. Soccer is played, apart from other things, for entertainment. Because of the proximity of the stadia in mentioned countries, interested locals can travel to watch the games. Uganda is a bit far away hence it is not ideal

Gorvenment must use money from gold sales to build stadiums. It's possible since the gold is being looted by Chinese and some locals
