The Zimbabwe Football Association Nomalisation Committee has announced the final lists of candidates for the association’s elections.

The polls will happen on 25 January 2025 and will be conducted under new clauses, that were imposed by FIFA.

Eleven members, including the president and two vice-presidents posts, will be elected to form the new executive board.

The final lists of candidates underwent vetting by the ZIFA Ethics Committee and several big names failed the eligibility tests.

Among those that failed the vetting is Yadah owner Walter Magaya, former Warriors captain Benjani Mwaruwari and Themba Mliswa.

Former ZIFA acting president Gift Banda, who was vying for the vice president post, also failed the eligibility test.

The vetting process covered the aspiring candidates’ crime and ethical records, educational background (at least five O-level passes required) and their residency in the last two years.

Here is the full list of candidates vying for various ZIFA posts.
