The ZIFA Normalisation Committee officially opened the nomination process for the upcoming elections last week, with the polls set to take place at the Congress on January 25, 2025.

The elections will be held under new regulations introduced by FIFA, adding a fresh dimension to the selection process.

Several prominent figures have expressed interest in the ZIFA presidency, with notable names such as Northern Region Soccer League chairman Martin Kweza and Yadah FC owner Walter Magaya being mentioned.

Magaya confirmed his candidacy in October, following endorsement from the Women’s Football League.

Temba Mliswa has also thrown his hat into the ring, with former Warriors captain Peter Ndlovu offering his public support.

Mliswa began his campaign with a meeting on Wednesday with Southern Region councillors, marking the start of his bid for the top football position in Zimbabwe.

Other potential contenders for the ZIFA presidency include CAPS United owner and PSL chairman Farai Jere, Marshal Gore, and Richard Wangu Mazodze, all of whom are expected to compete in the elections.
