Zimbabwe set for first home AFCON qualifier in five years
Zimbabwe will return to home soil on Monday when they host DR Congo in an Africa Cup of Nations group qualifier. It will be their first home match in five years.
Renovation work at the National Sports Stadium in Harare had forced Zimbabwe to stage home fixtures outside the country, often in South Africa.
Zimbabwe enter the match after a 3-2 comeback victory away to Sierra Leone. Marshall Munetsi began the recovery with a goal in the 72nd minute before Tawanda Chirewa equalised and Munetsi scored again late to secure the win.
