CHAMPIONS CAPS United will play their match at the National Sports Stadium today, after ZIFA intervened in the impasse which had seen the giant facility being temporarily closed.

Dynamos will also play at the giant stadium tomorrow in their Castle Lager Premiership tie against Yadah Stars. The giant stadium, which hosts five Harare teams, has been booked by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Christ Embassy Ministries for the gathering on May 7.

CAPS United will have the privilege to use the venue for their match against Chapungu this afternoon, which was the only success the football leadership could get on a day of boardroom battles, but the league has been forced to move two other matches that had been lined up at the venue this weekend.

The league had also hoped to take advantage of Monday’s Workers’ Day holiday to slot in a double header at the National Sports Stadium, but the plans have changed. Harare City will now host ZPC Kariba at Morris Depot on Monday while impressive army side Black Rhinos date FC Platinum at the same venue on Tuesday.

ZIFA vice-president Omega Sibanda sought assistance form the Ministry of Sport and Recreation to engage the Ministry of Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing who are the custodians of the ground.
