Obert Itani Chilume Stadium Tickets

Experience world-class events at Obert Itani Chilume Stadium!

Obert Itani Chilume Stadium is located in Francistown, Botswana. Francistown is the second-largest city in the country, with a population of well over 100,000. It is located in the northeastern part of Botswana, very close to the country's border with Zimbabwe. Francistown is not only old, having been established way back in the late 19th century, but it has also been a site of steady growth, both in terms of population and economy. The stadium was opened on August 14, 1994, as a new and modern shrine to the kinds of dramas and diversions that only the world of sports can offer. When all the construction dust finally settled, it was found that the various construction firms had put together a gigantic new multipurpose venue. The seating area can currently accommodate up to 26,000 for international concerts and up to 40,000 for the more mundane matters of football (soccer). Indeed, the new venue is international in scope and appeal. Continuous renovation efforts, like installing hybrid grass technology and adding hospitality suites, ensure that the stadium complies with the Confederation of African Football's rigorous standards. These factors make the stadium a prime location for future continental championships.

Seating Capacity: 26,000 (all-seater); Playing Surface: Maintained to FIFA-recommended specifications; Certified for international competition by CAF and FIFA-aligned bodies; Ownership: Botswana Football Association, with operational oversight by a stadium management committee; LED floodlights, high-def video scoreboard, and stadium-wide Wi-Fi network are recent revenue-boosting enhancements.

For the past couple of years, the FIFA Women's World Cup has been held in countries like Canada, France, and Germany. On its way to becoming a serious contender for the Women's World Cup, the opening match of the 2019 African Cup of Nations was held at OIC Stadium. That event alone gave Francistown ten thousand additional hotel nights, two thousand rentals of apartments and homes (which are common during big events), and a five-million-pula boost to the city's economy.
