ZIFA appoints standing committees
By Evans Gutsa
THE Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA ) on Thursday made strides in making sure the organisation remains a viable entity by appointing tried and tested personnel within their respective standing committees.
ZIFA announced the development through its website and Vice President Omega Sibanda will chair most of the standing committees that were laid down by the country’s football mother body.
Sibanda will chair the critical Technical Development Committee that comprises veteran sports administrators Nelson Matongorere,Gibson Homela,BN Academy director Bheki Nyoni and former Mighty Warriors head coach Rosemary Mugadza.
