Warriors coach Michael Nees has announced that they are considering Polokwane, South Africa, as the venue for their final Afcon Qualifiers Group J home match against Kenya.

The decision follows their recent experience in Johannesburg’s Orlando Stadium during the game against Namibia, where securing adequate training facilities proved challenging due to overbooking.

Nees highlighted the need for improved conditions, stating that while Orlando Stadium served them well, logistical difficulties, including the necessity of police escorts for training, detracted from their preparation. He noted, “We saw the need to improve on those areas and our conditions.”

The Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane is the only CAF-certified stadium in the area and has been recognized for its quality pitch.

Zimbabwe will face Kenya at home and then travel to play Cameroon in their final two Group J matches of the 2025 Afcon Qualifiers during the November international break.
