Farai Dziva| The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) Zifa is facing a heavy penalty after failing to host the 2019 COSAFA Cup in February.

According to The Herald, the matter will be determined next Thursday.

The association’s communications manager, Xolisani Gwesela, told the newspaper yesterday that they asked for the postponement so that they would get more time to prepare for the appeal.

“We have written to Cosafa asking for the postponement of the hearing so that they allow us time to prepare for the hearing.

“I can confirm that our request has been granted and the hearing will now commence on April 11. Since the matter is still before the Cosafa Disciplinary Committee, I will not comment further than this.”
