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]
