Zimbabwe's Premier Soccer League faces disruption of its schedule with Harare's Rufaro Stadium set to close for renovations in August and September - the Zimbabwe Football Association with FIFA and the city council is putting down artificial turf.
Other venues are limited: the National Sports Stadium has been closed for repairs since last October and will remain out of commission for another 12 months.
The Rufaro improvements will be carried out under a FIFA program to encourage the use of artificial turf in Africa. ZIFA wanted to launch the program in Masvingo’s Mucheke Stadium, but FIFA insisted on starting with Rufaro.
