Free State Premier Sisi Ntombela has announced the government resolved to rename Goble Park Stadium after Mike Mokoena.
The late Free State Stars boss succumbed to cancer at a Johannesburg hospital last week and was laid to rest on Friday.
He was accorded a special provincial official funeral by South Africa president Cyril Ramaphosa as a way of honouring the man who had been involved in football for 43 years.
