ZIFA Restructuring Committee report has been released as several recommendations have been made which include constitutional amendments and need for budgetary support from the government.

The nine-member committee was appointed following the suspension of the Felton Kamambo-led ZIFA board and managed the operations until a new board came in place in April 2022. Its other mandate was to come up with a strategic roadmap towards addressing the issues that have affected football management and administration in Zimbabwe.
