The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has reportedly given Botswana the go-ahead to host Category Three matches at the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium.

Earlier last month, there were fears the Zebras might be forced to play their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against

Equatorial Guinea on March 28 outside the country. That was after CAF condemned the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium as unfit to host Category Three and Four matches. AFCON qualifiers fall under category three of CAF match standards. CAF ordered that remedial works should be carried out at the facility if the Zebras were to play the Equatorial Guinea clash at the stadium.

The Botswana National Sports Commission (BNSC) immediately started the remedial works and Mmegi Sport has established that the continental soccer body has given the association the go-ahead to use the facility.

The BFA president Maclean Letshwiti referred all inquiries relating to the readiness of the stadium to the BNSC CEO, Tuelo Serufho. Sources said CAF wrote a letter directly to the BFA sanctioning the use of the stadium for the Equatorial Guinea match.
