Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Oval represents the future of Zimbabwean cricket and a bold investment in the game’s long-term growth.
Rising in Victoria Falls, just a short distance from the majestic Mosi-oa-Tunya – a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World – the venue is being developed as a world-class sporting destination that will serve generations of cricketers and fans.
While it will play a key role during the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027, which Zimbabwe will proudly co-host alongside South Africa and Namibia, the oval has been conceived with a vision that extends far beyond the tournament.
It will leave a lasting legacy by bringing international cricket to one of Africa’s premier tourism destinations, inspiring future generations and strengthening Zimbabwe’s sporting infrastructure.
Sustainability lies at the heart of the project’s design.
Rather than relying on extensive concrete construction, the venue has been carefully planned to blend seamlessly into its natural surroundings, preserving the character and beauty of the Victoria Falls environment.
By embracing an environmentally conscious approach and minimising its ecological footprint, the development demonstrates how modern sporting infrastructure can coexist harmoniously with nature.
Once completed, the Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Oval will offer world-class playing and spectator facilities in a setting unlike any other on the global cricket circuit.
More than a venue, it will stand as a symbol of Zimbabwe’s ambition, innovation and hospitality – a lasting legacy for cricket and a showcase of the country’s unique ability to combine elite sport with one of the world’s most spectacular natural landscapes.
