The Sports and Recreation Commission announced that they had productive meetings with the FIFA, CAF and COSAFA officials and they broadly agreed on the next steps to address ZIFA’s current situation.

The SRC has been involved in discussions with FIFA, CAF, and COSAFA to resolve the issues surrounding the Zimbabwe Football Association.

In a statement, SRC said the discussions have been promising.

“The officials from FIFA, CAF and COSAFA were in the country this week on a fact-finding mission.

“Throughout the week, FIFA and CAF engaged with various stakeholders and officials involved in Zimbabwean football to gather their perspectives.

“A common sentiment among these stakeholders was the need for strong, lawful governance structures to support Zimbabwe’s return to international football, as well as a commitment to implementing necessary reforms for the sport’s future development and success in the country.

“The commission deeply appreciates the firm support and positions taken by all stakeholders involved in this week’s consultations.

“These stakeholders have been clear about the changes needed in Zimbabwean football and have collectively called for a swift resolution to ZIFA’s challenges.

“The SRC said it will provide further updates to the public on the matter in the first week of May 2023,” reads the statement.

Some sources allegedly said both parties accepted that there is no way back for overthrown ZIFA president Felton Kamambo and some members of his board
