World football governing body FIFA have completed the inspection at the Somhlolo National Stadium.
The eSwatini Football Association (EFA) will now have to wait for a certificate from FIFA that will give green light to host Category A CAF matches.
Until the certification is produced, the venue will not be used.
The country’s CAF Confederations Cup representatives Royal Leopard will be able to play their last Group B home game on 3 April against JS Saoura of Algeria at Somhlolo but the national team is likely to use Mbombela Stadium as their temporal home when they welcome Somalia in the Africa Cup of Nations preliminary qualifying match next Sunday, 27 March.
A refurbished Somhlolo National Stadium, meeting FIFA international standards, will also be open to local clubs once the certification process has been concluded.
The concluded Phase II of the stadium’s refurbishment include the installation of a new artificial turf, rehabilitation of the synthetic running track, construction of a media tribune and upgrading of the public address system.
