Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) is set to host its Ordinary Congress on Friday in Harare, bringing together delegates from across the country for a crucial meeting.
The annual gathering will see the ZIFA Executive Committee and Secretariat account for their work in 2025 and outline plans for the future. The Congress serves as the Association’s yearly general meeting, providing an opportunity for reflection, accountability, and strategic direction.
“This is an important moment for the Association to give account of the work done in 2025 and to present the plans that will guide our operations in the coming year,” said ZIFA Acting General Secretary Norman Gwangwadza.
The meeting will review progress made in 2025, with ZIFA continuing to pursue reforms, strengthen governance structures, and drive football development across all levels of the game. Delegates will engage with the broader vision for the continued growth and transformation of the game in Zimbabwe.
Gwangwadza added that the Ordinary Congress is an important part of maintaining transparency and strengthening the relationship between the leadership of the Association and its membership.
The gathering will also focus on the path ahead, with ZIFA committed to professionalism, accountability, and service to its members. The Congress is expected to provide a clear picture of where the Association stands and where it intends to go next.
With preparations now complete, all is set for Harare to host a meeting that will review the year gone by and help define the direction of Zimbabwean football in the months ahead.
