FOOTBALL stakeholders have thrown their weight behind newly-appointed committees to steer the game forward, a move that is expected to bring about a new era of development and progress in the sport.
The newly-appointed committees, which were recently unveiled by the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa), have been tasked with overseeing various aspects of the game, including technical development, marketing, and finance.
According to sources, the stakeholders, who include club owners, coaches, and players, have expressed their satisfaction with the composition of the committees, which they believe have the necessary expertise and experience to take the game to the next level.
The stakeholders have also pledged to work closely with the committees to ensure that they achieve their objectives and fulfill their mandates.
The development is a major boost for Zifa, which has been working tirelessly to restore the reputation of the game in the country.
Zifa has been facing numerous challenges in recent years, including financial constraints, poor performance by the national team, and infighting among its members.
However, with the appointment of the new committees, there is a sense of optimism among football lovers that the game is about to experience a major turnaround.
The technical development committee, which is headed by a seasoned coach, is expected to oversee the development of the game at the grassroots level.
The committee will work with schools, colleges, and universities to identify and nurture young talent, as well as provide training and coaching to upcoming players.
The marketing committee, on the other hand, will be responsible for promoting the game and attracting sponsors.
The committee will work with the media to increase coverage of the game, as well as with potential sponsors to secure funding for the sport.
The finance committee will be responsible for managing the finances of Zifa, including budgeting, accounting, and auditing.
The committee will ensure that Zifa’s finances are transparent and accountable, and that the association is able to manage its resources effectively.
Overall, the appointment of the new committees is a major step forward for Zifa and the game of football in Zimbabwe.
With the support of the stakeholders, the committees are expected to make a major impact and help to restore the game to its former glory.
