24 Years in the Making: The World Cup Returns to Africa
The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027
After 24 years, the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup is coming back to Africa. This October and November, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia will jointly host the 2027 tournament — a landmark event uniting three nations under the banner "Three Nations, One Heartbeat."
Twelve Venues, One Unmissable Tournament
The action will unfold across twelve host venues, from the iconic Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg and Newlands in Cape Town, to Harare Sports Club in Zimbabwe and the Namibia Cricket Ground in Windhoek - with the breathtaking Mosi-oa-Tunya International Cricket Stadium in Victoria Falls among the standout settings. A new three-stage format promises sharper, more competitive cricket from the very first ball.
More Than Just the Match
For us at Black Opal, watching world-class cricket is only half the experience - the other half is everything around it. Think premium seats for the biggest fixtures, stays in Africa's finest hotels, and days built around what makes this continent unforgettable: a safari through Big 5 territory, sundowners overlooking Victoria Falls, or an afternoon among the vineyards of the Cape Winelands.
