Time zones and kickoff conversions
Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo operates on Central Africa Time (CAT), which is UTC+2. Match start times are set locally, so convert to your time zone before the game. Here’s how to calculate the time quickly:
- BULAWAYO (CAT): UTC+2
- INDIA (IST): UTC+5:30 — add 3.5 hours to Bulawayo time
- UNITED KINGDOM (GMT): UTC+0 — subtract 2 hours from Bulawayo time
- USA EASTERN (EST): UTC-5 — subtract 7 hours from Bulawayo time
- AUSTRALIA (AEDT): UTC+11 (summer) — add 9 hours to Bulawayo time
Example: if the match begins at 10:30 local time in Bulawayo, it would be 14:00 IST, 08:30 GMT, 03:30 EST, and 19:30 AEDT. Always confirm the official kickoff time announced by the match organisers or broadcasters.
