Football matches in the top division were last played there in 2019. The ZIFA First Instance Board red-flagged it in 2020 and declared it unfit to host premier football. We present the latest pictures of Rufaro Stadium below:<\/p>\n

Before refurbishment<\/b> Rufaro Stadium New Look<\/p>\n

Rufaro Stadium is located in the heart of Zimbabwe\u2018s capital city Harare in the suburb of Mbare.<\/p>\n

It is the country\u2019s second biggest stadium and is generally regarded as Zimbabwe\u2018s home of football due to it being used as a home ground by some of the country\u2019s most successful teams such as Dynamos Football Club.<\/p>\n

The giant stadium is owned by the Harare City Council. The local authority is responsible for its maintenance, well-being and upkeep. Besides sporting activities, the local authority also hires the stadium for other activities such as musical concerts, weddings and parties.<\/p>\n

Harare City Council aims to finish the refurbishments before the Harare derby which pits Dynamos and Caps United on matchday 7.<\/p>\n
