A friendly match between Zimbabwe and Zambia, which was to be played in honour of Zimbabwe’s new President Emmerson Mnangagwa was called off for lack of venue. Media reports from Zimbabwe reveal that Zimbabwean Football Association and Zambian football authorities had planned a friendly match between the Zimbabwean Warriors and Zambia’s Chipolopolo in what is termed as the Limpopo derby.

However, the match failed to take effect due to various reasons, which have so far been varying. A statement by the Zimbabwean Football Association indicated that the match was called off due to lack of National Sports Stadium, being that the eyed venue was already booked for a wedding.
