Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Emily Jesaya, the Deputy Minister of Sports, Recreation, Arts, and Culture, said that the Chahwanda Stadium under construction in Kwekwe will host international football matches.<\/p>\n

The 10,000-seater stadium is being built by Walter Magaya in partnership with his business associate, Shepherd Chahwanda.<\/p>\n

Magaya, the founder of the Prophetic Healing and Deliverance Ministries and owner of Yadah Football Club in the Premier Soccer League, spoke about the project\u2019s progress after a tour with Jesaya on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Jesaya praised the promoters for their commitment to advancing sports infrastructure in Zimbabwe. She said:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m excited to be here, and to see the amazing work that is being done by the private sector in an effort to develop sports in the country. As I was coming down here, I didn\u2019t think I would see something of high standards like this.<\/p>\n

After touring I can safely say this stadium is one of the facilities that will host international games because they have shown me that they are obliging to the standards required by CAF [Confederation of African Football].<\/p>\n

Magaya said they are aiming to complete the project by the end of January, in time for the start of the 2025 domestic premier league season.<\/p>\n
