The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) Executive Committee led by acting president Gift Banda met on Friday 14 October 2022, in Harare and deliberated on a number of issues affecting local football.
The ZIFA Executive Committee resolved to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on the 29th of October 2022.
ZIFA Acting General Secretary Xolisani Gwesela said the agenda of the EGM will be the Executive Committee Report, the ZIFA Executive Committee and Congress tenure and the Forensic Audit Report. He added:
The Executive Committee deliberated on improving the standards of refereeing in the country citing that professional refereeing preserves the sacrosanct values of the game.
The executive committee applauded the referees’ committee and referees for improving refereeing standards through the continuous capacity development of referees, commissioners and referee assessors.
Meanwhile, ZIFA is still suspended from international football by FIFA following the November 2021 suspension of the elected ZIFA board that was led by Felton Kamambo by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC).
Recently, members of Parliament gave Sports Minister, Kirtsy Coventry, a 31 October 2022 ultimatum to ensure that the SRC reinstates the Kamambo-led ZIFA board.
