Visiting El Mereikh will be flown by Zimbabwe Air force planes when they visit the country to play premier soccer league outfit FC Platinum in Zvishavane on Saturday in the Confederation of African Foot ball cup game.
FC Platinum's home turf Mandava stadium, which had initially been banned by Caf as Zvishavane has no hotel which meant the teams could travel either from Harare or Bulawayo by road.
Zimbabwe Football Association boss Cuthbert Dube said he had inspected the two planes that would carry the 34 member Sudanese team to Masvingo.
"We managed to see two planes that will carry the team to Masvingo them they will precede to Zvishavane by road," said Dube.
Zifa chief executive officer Jonathan Mashingaidze added that he will go with the Sudanese Ambassador to inspect the planes at the Manyame Airbase, "because we want the ambassador to see the planes as well."
He said the planes had already been inspected by Caf.
On the initial tour, Dube went with FC Platinum chairman Thadson Zhou and other officials from Zifa.
Meanwhile, Zifa says it has written a letter of complaint to Caf against referees from North and West Africa over alleged bias and unfair treatment of Southern African teams.
