The Sports and Recreation Commission has suspended the Zimbabwe Football Association board with immediate effect.
Among the reasons for the suspension are:
- Â mismanagement & lack of accountability in use of public funds
- sexual harassment of female referees by key technical staff in ZIFA
- failure to address gender imbalances relating to treatment of female national teams
- national teams traveling outside Zimbabwe without Covid-19 clearances from govt
- misuse of the junior development fund from FIFA and no evidence of meaningful grassroots development
- looming constitutional crisis re: pending elections
While the suspension may be viewed by many as what football needs to a return to sound management, local football risks a ban from Fifa.
