ZIFA have rejected a crazy offer from Algeria to have the Warriors’ home 2021 AFCON qualifier against the Desert Foxes played in Algiers.
The Warriors take on the African champions away on November 12 before the two sides meet at the National Sports Stadium four days later.
But, with logistical challenges, brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic across the globe, Algeria proposed to host both legs.
The North Africans said they would foot Zimbabwe’s accommodation and other related costs.
However, ZIFA, who are celebrating the decision by CAF, to give the National Sports Stadium the greenlight to host high-profile international matches, refused to take the proposal and, instead, presented a counter-offer to the Algerians. Herald

The academy will take on board players between the ages of 8 and 18 and the project will be overseen by Real Betis technical director, Juan Parra, who is scheduled to come and work in Zimbabwe early next year.
