Charles Mopeli Stadium is located in Phuthaditjhaba, South Africa. It was mostly used by the now defunct Free State Stars, and African Warriors[2] when they were in the National First Division before their relegation in 2015–16. The stadium has a capacity of 35,000.
The stadium also hosted the Nedbank Cup fixture between Soweto giants Orlando Pirates and Maluti FET College.
By 2021, the stadium was derelict, with the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality stating that they intended to refurbish it.[3]
As of 2023, R14 million had been spent on refurbishments, but the condition of the stadium was still described as "deplorable" and a "testament to corruption" by the Democratic Alliance.[4]
