func_capturezone is a brush entity available in Team Fortress 2.

This entity is used in conjunction with item_teamflag for Capture the Flag maps. (For capture points in CP maps, use a trigger_capture_area.)

It should be placed where it can be touched by the player so that when they are carrying the enemy intelligence, it can be captured. You only need to specify which team the capture zone belongs to (set Team to 'any' for Territory Control maps).
