Zifa President, Felton Kamambo
By Alvin Moyo, Football Writer
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.
