Independence Stadium

Independence Stadium is a multi-purpose venue in Lusaka with a capacity of around 30,000 spectators. The facility features multiple seating sections and serves both sporting events and national ceremonies.

The stadium opened in 1964 as April Stadium and was the main venue for Zambia's independence celebrations. Over the decades, it became a center for various sporting and national events in the region.

The national football team of Zambia played numerous international matches at Independence Stadium, making it central to the country's sports development.

Access to the stadium is straightforward and it sits in a central area of Lusaka near other sports facilities. Visitors should check local event calendars to plan the best times for their visit.

The west grandstand demolition in 2007 marked the beginning of a planned renovation project to modernize the aging concrete structure.
