Cape Town

The International Cricket Council will release the full match schedule for the 2027 Cricket World Cup at an event in Cape Town on October 1. The tournament, to be co-hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, will see its fixtures, venues and dates confirmed for the first time. Fans and media are awaiting the schedule to plan attendance and follow their teams' campaigns.

Cape Town has opened a new international airport aimed at boosting travel within Africa, according to CNN. The facility is positioned to strengthen connections between South Africa and other African destinations rather than focusing primarily on long-haul intercontinental routes. Details on airlines, capacity or opening dates have not yet been widely reported.
