Independence Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Lusaka, Zambia.
Independence Stadium contains multiple seating sections with a primary grandstand and can accommodate 30,000 spectators for sporting events and ceremonies.
The stadium opened its doors in 1964 as the 7 April Stadium and served as the main venue for Zambia's independence celebrations.
The national football team of Zambia played numerous international matches at Independence Stadium, making it central to the country's sports development.
The facility stands adjacent to National Heroes Stadium and underwent structural assessments in 2004 to address safety requirements for international competitions.
The west grandstand demolition in 2007 marked the beginning of a planned renovation project to modernize the aging concrete structure.
