Buckle Up for the Harare Derby: Dynamos vs CAPS United Returns to the National Sports Stadium
The highly anticipated Harare Derby between Dynamos and CAPS United will finally return to the National Sports Stadium this weekend, marking a significant moment for both teams and their fans.
Dembare’s Determination to Return Home
Weary of the constant travel to Bulawayo, Dynamos has actively advocated for a return to their home ground in Harare. Last week, the club took a decisive step by submitting a letter to the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) in hopes of a favorable response.

Vincent Chawonza, Glamor Boy’s vice-chairman, confirmed that the SRC received the letter and expressed optimism regarding the stadium renovations. The crucial next step is the assessment of the ground by the stadium inspection committee before reopening the gates.
Renovations and the Stadium Crisis
In July, the Premier Soccer League evacuated the National Sports Stadium to address urgent problems like malfunctioning facilities. The stadium suffered from the ongoing stadium crisis in Harare, resulting in excessive use and deterioration. Behind the scenes, the Sports Commission has been actively striving to accelerate the stadium’s availability for domestic football. While no specific timeline has been given, an official has guaranteed an upcoming update on the stadium’s condition and Dynamos’ request.
