NGEZI Platinum Stars are today set to make a decision on the adopted home ground to use for their African Champions League campaign.
The local champions will host DRC side, AS Maniema, in the first leg of the preliminary round during the weekend of August 16-18.
Dynamos have already settled for the Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg for their CAF Confederation Cup matches.
Ngezi Platinum Stars vice-president (technical), Lysias Chiwozva, told Zimpapers Sport yesterday that they were yet to decide where they will play their matches.
“Last week we received a list of Africa’s homologated stadiums and Zimbabwe was not there and out of the countries that were on the list our interest is in two countries — South Africa and Zambia.
“We are still actively engaging the stadium owners and we gave them up to tomorrow (today) for the responses and we have already sent the information that they have requested from us and will make the decision on Friday (today),” said Chiwozva.
He added:
“Zambia has two stadiums — Levy Mwanawasa in Ndola and Heroes Stadium in Lusaka — and we have South Africa, which is not short of stadiums, and we have already placed our feelers there.
“Unlike Dynamos, who have received their response, we are yet to receive ours and we are waiting for the response from both South Africa and Zambia.”
He hinted they could opt for the Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.
