Zimbabwe Moves WCQ Against South Africa to Neutral Venue in Botswana

Zimbabwe shifts final 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa to a neutral venue, Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown, Botswana. The decision aims to prevent South Africa from having a home advantage in the crucial match.

Zimbabwe, currently winless in Group C with four points, seeks a victory to boost their chances of automatic qualification. The move follows previous home matches played in Rwanda and South Africa.

The Botswana FA President confirmed the agreement with Zimbabwean FA. The Warriors face a must-win situation to stay in contention for qualification.
