Sharif Mohamed Mussa, a seasoned football administrator, has thrown his hat into the ring, presenting his candidacy for the ZIFA board. His manifesto outlines a comprehensive plan to revive Zimbabwean football, tackling the sport's deep-seated challenges and ushering in a new era of professionalism and growth.
"I am committed to serving Zimbabwean football professionally and selflessly," Mussa emphasized. "Our beautiful game has faced numerous struggles, including the COVID-19 pandemic, international suspension, and governance issues. It's time for a new era, and I am ready to lead the charge."
Mussa's vision is built around six key pillars: commitment and vision, addressing key challenges, proposed reforms and goals, specific initiatives, first 100 days agenda, and reasons to vote for him. He acknowledges the lack of constitutionalism and transparency, poor governance structures, legacy debts, and financial instability that have plagued Zimbabwean football.
To address these challenges, Mussa proposes a raft of reforms, including revising ZIFA's statutes and governance structures, fostering transparency, accountability, and professionalism, and re-engaging with stakeholders such as government, sponsors, and international bodies like CAF and FIFA.
"We need to strengthen our grassroots development programs, promote player welfare, and create high-performance strategies for our national teams," Mussa stressed. "We must also invest in modern infrastructure, including FIFA/CAF-standard facilities and technical centers across the provinces."
In his first 100 days, Mussa plans to undertake an organizational review, implement governance reforms, and initiate key projects such as ZIFA sports shops, grassroots tournaments, and anniversary celebrations.
"I am a visionary leader with extensive networks, business background, and leadership experience," Mussa said. "I am committed to transparency, accessibility, and compliance with statutes. I believe I have the expertise and dedication to bring meaningful change to Zimbabwean football."
