Rufaro Stadium, the ceremonial home of football in Harare, has raised eyebrows after its recent “upgrade”. Fans are questioning the absence of a lush lawn on the playing surface.

This afternoon, the stadium will host a highly anticipated match between arch-rivals Dynamos F.C and Highlanders F.C.

The stadium’s playing surface has undergone changes over the years, from natural grass to artificial turf and back to natural grass again. Despite the upgrades, the current state of the pitch has left fans wondering if the stadium is truly ready for the big match.

All eyes will be on Rufaro Stadium this afternoon as the two giants of Zimbabwean football clash in what promises to be an electrifying encounter.
