Exciting news for sports enthusiasts and fans alike as major rehabilitation works kick off at the iconic National Heroes Stadium. This significant project marks the beginning of a new era for one of Zambia's most prominent sporting venues.
The renovation endeavors encompass a comprehensive overhaul, with plans in place for several key enhancements. Among these, the removal of the existing turf takes precedence, paving the way for the installation of state-of-the-art solar-powered hybrid boreholes. Additionally, repair works on entry points are slated to enhance accessibility and safety for all attendees.
Already, visible progress is evident, with the technical area (seats) undergoing a notable transformation. Modern fittings have replaced outdated structures, promising an upgraded spectator experience.
Sports Permanent Secretary Kangwa Chileshe ceremoniously inaugurated the commencement of works, emphasizing the significance of this endeavor for Zambia's sporting landscape. Anticipating the completion of the project by December 2024, Chileshe's optimism reflects a promising future for the stadium.
The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ), represented by Registrar and Club Licensing Manager Iva Lengwe, has expressed full support for the rehabilitation efforts. Acknowledging the pivotal role of the stadium in hosting prestigious events, FAZ welcomes these initiatives, recognizing their contribution to meeting the stringent standards required for CAF certification.
As works progress, stakeholders and sports enthusiasts eagerly await the transformation of the National Heroes Stadium into a world-class sporting facility. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting journey of rejuvenation and progress!
