The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has suffered another setback in its attempt to ensure a neutral place for the FIFA World Cup qualifier next month against South Africa.
The Warriors had planned to organize October with Bafana Bafana in Francistown, Botswana, to limit the advantage of the house of South Africa and facilitate
assist.
However, the Botswana Soccer Association rejected the application, since the stadium will be in use when Botswana is host of Uganda in its own qualifier.
Zimbabwe is still unable to organize international matches at home due to a safety ban on the FIFA stadium.
His last three classifiers have organized in South Africa, and with the Discarded Francistown option, Zifa is once again considering the Orlando stadium at the Johannesburg or Mosses Mabhida stadium in Durban as possible places.
