Simba Bhora president Simba “Buju” Ndoro has announced his withdrawal from the ZIFA executive committee elections, which are set to take place on January 25, 2025.

This decision comes despite Ndoro having successfully passed the ethics and integrity test, a key requirement for candidates seeking positions on the board.

Ndoro had initially entered the race for one of the six ordinary board member positions on the ZIFA executive committee, a highly anticipated election that has attracted considerable attention.

His decision to pull out has raised questions about his future involvement in Zimbabwean football governance.

While the reasons behind his withdrawal have not been fully disclosed, it is believed that Ndoro may have reassessed his position or faced challenges that led to his decision.

His exit leaves a vacancy for one of the board member positions, intensifying the competition among the remaining candidates.

The ZIFA executive committee election is expected to be a crucial event for the future direction of Zimbabwean football, with several high-profile figures and key players vying for leadership positions.
