The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has revealed that it has been forced to move their Fifa World Cup 2026 qualifier against Benin to Durban.

“Originally, ZIFA had planned to host this fixture in Polokwane; however, following its allocation to Bafana Bafana in January, alternative venues had to be considered,” the the statement said. “Johannesburg’s approved stadiums were unavailable due to rugby and other events, while Cape Town Stadium is undergoing pitch renovations.”

The match will now take place at the Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban, South Africa.

The details are:

Date: Thursday, 20 March 2025
Kick-off: 18:00hrs
Entrance Fee (Rest of Ground): R50

Zimbabwe are not allowed to host matches at home because CAF say their facilities are dodgy.
