From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Lusaka Stadium-Alex

New Lusaka Stadium was a planned multi-purpose stadium in Lusaka, Zambia that would have been used mostly for football matches and would have hosted some events for the 2011 All-Africa Games.[1] The stadium would have had a capacity of 70,000 people.[1] It would have replaced the Independence Stadium. It would have been built along with new stadiums in Ndola (New Ndola Stadium) and Livingstone (New Livingstone Stadium).[1][2]

In December 2008, Zambia withdrew its hosting duties, citing a lack of funds.[3][4][5]
