The ZIFA Normalisation Committee, acting as the ZIFA Electoral Committee in accordance with Article 85(9), on Monday, December 23, announced the names of all the candidates who have met the eligibility criteria stipulated in the ZIFA Statutes, 2024.
Those who have passed rigorous integrity and ethics checks will contest for positions on the ZIFA Board in the upcoming elections.
The elections, scheduled for January 25, 2025, will mark the end of the Normalisation Committee’s term, paving the way for a new board elected by councillors to take over the governance of football in Zimbabwe.
There is no place for PHD Ministries founder Walter Magaya, PSL chairman Farai Jere, politician Temba Mliswa, and Warriors legend Benjani Mwariwari on the ballot when the ZIFA councillors elect the new leadership next month.
