Zifa lifts ban on Chiyangwa

The Felton Kamambo-led Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) board has lifted the ban on its former president and current Council of Southern African Football Associations (Cosafa) head Philip Chiyangwa.

In a statement, Zifa said based on its Executive Council Meeting on Wednesday, the resolution was as follows:

The board has unanimously resolved to lift bans imposed on Honourable Dr Phillip Chiyangwa and Honourable Omega Sibanda.

The move is seen as a major climbdown after the frosty relationship between the two in which Zifa tried to have Chiyangwa recalled from the Cosafa presidency, a thing the regional body rebuffed.

It remains to be seen whether this is part on effort to mend the relationship between Chiyangwa and Kamambo.
