Namibia to play Warriors behind closed doors

Online Reporter

THE 2025 AFCON qualifying match between Namibia and Zimbabwe will be played behind closed doors on Thursday at the request of the Brave Warriors who will be the home team for the first leg.

A statement from ZIFA said the Namibians have since made the request for all fans not to make their way to Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg on Thursday. But the doors will be open at the same venue next Monday when Zimbabwe will be the home team.

“Please note our away match between Namibia and Zimbabwe scheduled for Thursday will be played behind closed doors. No fans will be allowed for both teams.

“However, our home match scheduled for Monday will be open to all fans,” said the statement from ZIFA.

Both teams have been forced to play on an alternative venue in South Africa since they do not have CAF-approved stadiums to host international matches in their respective countries.
