The Zimbabwe Football Association has revealed that it has taken some austerity measures aimed at reducing spending.

The local football body, which is facing financial challenges says the measures, will affect all national teams where players will have to travel by road for some games.

“The Association is currently implementing austerity measures, and national teams will travel by road when and where the trip doesn’t affect team performance,” Zifa said on their website.

The women national teams that were taking part at the Cosafa tournaments in South Africa early this month were the first to be affected after travelling more 1000km from Port Elizabeth to Jorbug on their way home.
