NAH FAM: Caf won’t re-inspect Zim stadiums for Algeria tie

The Confederation of African Football(Caf) has found itself disinclined to re-inspect Zimbabwe stadium facilities before the Africa Cup of Nations match against Algeria later this month.

Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Minister Kirsty Coventry confirmed the news:

ZIFA have failed to assure CAF that the work we are doing in the stadiums will safeguard our National Teams playing home games in Zimbabwe. ZIFA now have to come up with a stadium for our teams to play home games outside of Zimbabwe.

The news is a hammer blow for Zimbabwe which means Zifa will now have to hold the tie at South Africa’s Orlando Stadium.

When you really look at it, Caf could not be found to be lenient with Zimbabwe as it would set a precedent for other countries should they be found in the foul.
