Zimbabwe will face Equatorial Guinea at a neutral venue in Cameroon on 12 November in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The match will be played at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé, with kick-off at 6 pm, after Equatorial Guinea failed to secure a CAF-certified stadium.

Equatorial Guinea, which hosted the 2015 finals, currently has no stadiums approved by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and has been forced to play home matches outside the country. The West African side also hosted its first Group E home game against Sierra Leone in Cameroon.

The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has confirmed the dates, venues and kick-off times for the back-to-back qualifiers.

The reverse fixture will be played four days later, on 16 November, at the National Sports Stadium in Harare, with kick-off at 3 pm. Zimbabwe were recently cleared to host international matches following the approval of the stadium.

The Warriors go into the third round of qualifiers second in Group E. They opened their campaign with a 3-2 win over Sierra Leone in Morocco before losing 2-1 to the Democratic Republic of Congo in Harare.

The two matches against Equatorial Guinea offer Zimbabwe an opportunity to collect valuable points in the push for qualification.

The 2027 Africa Cup of Nations finals will be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda from 19 June to 17 July 2027.
