Zimbabwe hosts DR Congo in first home match in five years

Zimbabwe will host the Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday in their first home match in five years, part of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Major renovations at the National Sports Stadium had previously forced Zimbabwe to play abroad. The match comes after Zimbabwe's dramatic 3-2 comeback win against Sierra Leone, while DR Congo secured a 2-0 victory over Equatorial Guinea in their last game. Both teams are optimistic following their recent performances, making the upcoming encounter critical in the group standings.
