Stadium
The club has been based at Rufaro Stadium, Mbare, for most of its history but temporarily used the National Sports Stadium for a few years in the late 90s. The Stadium was upgraded in 1994, in preparation for the all Africa games that Zimbabwe hosted the following year. The 35,000 capacity multi-purpose ground takes its name from the Shona word for "happiness". The stands at Rufaro are very close to the pitch, and this results in an intimidating atmosphere for opposing teams: Dynamos supporters, especially those in the Vietnam stand, are notoriously enthusiastic.
