The Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) has accused the ZIFA Normalisation Committee of stalling progress in efforts to find a lasting solution to challenges facing local football which resulted in Zimbabwe being banned from taking part in international football for several months by FIFA.
Speaking to <a href="https://www.sundaymail.co.zw/src-zifa-deal-on-football-roadmap-in-limbo">The Sunday Mail</a>, SRC director-general Eltah Nengomasha revealed that ZIFA NC is yet to finalise the memorandum of understanding (MoU) that will pave the way for a roadmap to development. Said Nengomasha:
<blockquote>
The MoU draft was done last year and it has been about five months now but the Normalisation Committee have never bothered to respond on the matter. Specific follow-ups have been made since then but to no avail.
</blockquote>
There seems to be palpable tension between the SRC and ZIFA NC and this may attract the attention of FIFA.
Last month, SRC chairperson Gerald Mlotshwa criticised ZIFA NC for “boycotting” the commissioning of Walter Magaya’s The Heart Stadium in Waterfalls by President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
However, ZIFA NC chairman, Lincoln Mutasa, claimed they had only been notified of the commissioning two days before the event.

SRC Accuses ZIFA Of Stalling Progress On Football Roadmap

SPEECH READ BY THE NORMALISATION COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON LINCOLN MUTASA FOR A MEDIA BRIEFING ON 12 JANUARY 2024
INTRODUCTION
A good afternoon to you all. I would like to thank members of the media for heeding our invitation to this media briefing.
It is important in many respects, but mostly because it marks the beginning of the symbiotic relations that we want to nurture going forward.
As the NC, we believe this is a national project, and no-one has a monopoly on information. We understand the important role that the media play in spreading the game of football to every ear and eye nationwide and abroad.
The first six months focussed on internal analysis and of course, it took longer than we expected. The rest of our tenure will be on building football from the grassroots to the formulation of the congress
It is important that you get the picture of what we have done since our appointment in July 2023, where we are now, and what we intend to accomplish before paving the way for the election of a board.
Despite the obvious challenges that we have faced, we have managed to accomplish notable things to set the tone for the critical period ahead.
HOSTING AFRICAN SCHOOLS FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
One of the greatest highlights of our first five months was the hosting of the African Schools Football Championship (ASFC) for 12- to 15-year-old boys and girls from 14 to 16 December 2023.
To host such a successful regional event so soon after our return demonstrated how capable we are as a nation.
It gave us an opportunity to enhance our relations with different stakeholder groups, especially the Council of Southern Africa Football Associations (COSAFA) and the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The best part of hosting the ASFC games involved the ancillary programmes that were held to benefit Zimbabweans. Programmes availed are:
<ul>
<li>Young referees’ course</li>
<li>Young Reporters’ workshop</li>
<li>Grassroots festival at Mbare High School</li>
<li>Safeguarding workshop</li>
<li>CAF D licence</li>
</ul>
FIFA WORLD CUP 2026 QUALIFIERS/COMPETITIONS
One of the greatest tests that we faced as a new administration was to play the Warriors’ home match against Nigeria away from home.
We are glad that despite that we do not have approved stadiums at home, our players got the chance to play for their national team.
We are hopeful that the next matches in June will be played in Zimbabwe in front of our fans.
The two games showed us the great potential that Zimbabwe has to be a force on the continent.
What excited us the most was the willingness shown by several players who came to play for the Warriors for the first time (Tivonge Rushesha, Andy Rinomhota). Only the sky can be the limit on what the team can achieve.
The senior women’s team returned to international football by participating in the COSAFA Women’s Championship where they finished 3rd. Again, the performances showed that the team has so much potential to be even better.
We are going to ensure that they play as many games as possible this year so that they can fare better in future competitions.
APPOINTMENT OF NATIONAL TEAMS COACHES
The NC appointed national team coaches to fulfil fixtures in 2023, albeit on short-term contracts due to factors beyond our control.
Our engagements with the Warriors technical team headed by Mr Baltemar Brito ended on 31 December.
That is the same situation with Mr Shadreck Mlauzi who headed the women’s team technical department.
We know that stakeholders are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the coaches. The good news is that we are nearing completion of the recruitment process and the names will be revealed in the next few weeks.
WORKING WITH LEGENDS
Inclusivity is one thing that we value so much and we started implementing it by forging close relations with legends of the game.
For our two FIFA World Cup qualifiers, we brought on board as ambassadors, former Warriors captain Peter Ndlovu, Moses Chunga, and Desmond Maringwa who is also the president of the Footballers’ Union of Zimbabwe.
We strongly believe that legends have a vital role to play in the continued improvement of Zimbabwean football because they have walked the path before.
This is also the trend at both the Confederation of African Football and the Federation of International Football Associations.
CONSTITUTION REVIEW
A critical part of the NC’s mandate is reviewing the legal instruments of ZIFA, especially the constitution and the electoral code.
We have had round table discussions with several stakeholder groups to get insights on areas that need attention.
We are now seized with the formulation of the committee that will assist us in tackling that task.
Once that is done, we will then be able to hold an Annual General Meeting to formalize everything needed to hold fresh elections in an enabling environment.
CLUB LICENSING WORKSHOP
With the assistance of FIFA, we held a club licensing workshop for elite men’s teams to assess the suitability of current competition standards.
Several anomalies were noted and the highest coaching qualification for Premier Soccer League coaches was reduced from CAF A to B.
The NC will continue to consult stakeholders to ensure that competition standards for all tiers are in line with our realities.
STAFFING OF WOMEN’S DESK 
We have decided to shift the organisational mindset and this has started with the whole secretariat. To match the global growth of women’s football, we recently recruited a Women’s Football Officer.
She will spearhead the implementation of our women’s football strategy in line with CAF and FIFA guidelines on how to grow the game.
There is definitely going to be a revamp of women’s football this season across all leagues.
CONCLUSION
Our agenda is football, and that is what we want to solely focus on going forward without dwelling on distractions.
Football players have a 10-year life span to build brands. We like to see these players making more headlines than us.
No particular path is correct, but eventually the goal is to get things done to the satisfaction of everyone.

ZIFA Normalisation Committee Statement On 12 January 2024 | Full Text

The Zimbabwe Football Association Normalisation Committee (ZIFA NC) said it has made significant progress in implementing the FIFA-prescribed reforms before its mandate expires on 30 June 2024.
The Lincoln Mutasa-led ZIFA NC was appointed in 2022 by FIFA after the latter lifted Zimbabwe’s suspension from international football.
The ZIFA NC was mandated to restructure the ZIFA administration and review the association’s Statutes and Electoral Code to ensure compliance with FIFA Statutes and requirements.
It is also expected to act as an electoral committee to organise and conduct elections to establish a new ZIFA board.
Addressing the media in Harare on Friday, 12 January, Mutasa, who was flanked by deputy chairperson Cynthia Malaba and the association secretary general Yvonne Mapika Manwa, said (<a href="https://www.zbcnews.co.zw/?p=19327">via ZBC News</a>):
<blockquote>
From the time we entered into office, we have been seized with making sure that the internal organisation is running smoothly filling the gaps that needed to be filled and also getting a proper structure in place.
I am happy to say that we have made significant progress on that end and we can now touch on other issues that we are mandated to do.
The review process we are now getting onto will take a bit of time because of the nature of the process, it will require wide consultations among other things.
Once the constitutional process is satisfied then we are going to engage FIFA to work out a road map for elections.
So in terms of time frames I cannot give you that because that will be decided by the engagement we will have with FIFA.
</blockquote>
After the constitutional process, the NC will then engage FIFA for approval. Once approved, the electoral process will then start with elections starting from the Area Zone up to the ZIFA Board.
However, these processes are likely to go beyond 30 June when the Normalisation Committee’s mandate is supposed to end and FIFA will most likely extend the NC’s tenure.
This won’t be an unprecedented development as FIFA has previously extended the tenures of Normalisation Committees in Ghana, Namibia, Pakistan, Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago after they all failed to conclude their mandate within the stipulated timeframes.

ZIFA NC To Conduct Constitutional Review To Pave Way For Elections

The ZIFA Normalisation Committee (NC) says it will announce the coach for the senior men’s football team (the Warriors) in the coming weeks, reported <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/sport/article/200022015/mangombe-set-for-warriors-job">NewsDay</a>.
Speaking at a press conference held at the ZIFA offices in Milton Park, Harare on Friday, 12 January, ZIFA NC chairperson Lincoln Mutasa said that they are nearing completion of the recruitment process.
Mutasa, who was flanked by his deputy Cynthia Malaba and the association secretary general Yvonne Mapika Manwa, said:
<blockquote>
We know that stakeholders are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the coaches.
The good news is that we are nearing completion of the recruitment process and the names will be revealed in the next few weeks.
</blockquote>
Mutasa said that they picked the names of the coaches from a pool of people who applied last time.
The Warriors have been without a coach since the end of December 2023 after the ZIFA NC decided against renewing Baltemar Brito’s contract.
The Brazilian was appointed national team coach in September last year on a short-term deal that ran concurrently with his contract with Highlanders, due to work permit issues.
Brito presided over two World Cup Qualifiers against Rwanda and Nigeria in November, picking up two points.
His second assistant, Genesis Mangombe, who is Dynamos’ head coach, is rumoured to be ZIFA NC’s preferred choice to succeed Brito.
NewsDay reported sources as saying Mangombe has been selected for continuity’s sake.
The immediate task of the yet-to-be-named Warriors coach will be to prepare a team for World Cup qualifiers in June.
