Zimbabwe will then play against South Africa on Matchday 4 at Free State Stadium, Bloemfontein on 11 June at 9 PM Central African Time.<\/p>\n

The Senior Men\u2019s National Team had to use a foreign venue for the match against Lesotho due to the unavailability of suitable stadiums in the country.<\/p>\n

All local football venues, including the National Sports Stadium, were condemned by CAF ahead of the start of the qualifiers last November.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe hosted Nigeria in Rwanda on matchday 2 of the campaign, a few days after playing against the central African country.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, ZIFA has yet to appoint the Warriors\u2019 head coach to take charge of the two matches and recently advertised the vacant post.<\/p>\n
