ZIFA REAFFIRMS COMMITTMENT TO CLUB LICENSING

ZIFA wishes to reaffirm that the implementation of Club Licensing Regulations will proceed as part
of our collective commitment to strengthening governance, professionalism and competitiveness
within Zimbabwean football. While we recognise the concerns raised by stakeholders and remain
open to constructive engagement on timelines and transitional mechanisms, the principles under
pinning Club Licensing are non-negotiable – financial discipline, proper administration, technical
standards and safeguarding are essential pillars of a modern football ecosystem. Our approach is
not punitive but developmental. We are committed to working closely with the leagues and their
clubs to ensure clarity, reasonable compliance pathways and practical support, while maintaining
steady progress toward a structured, credible and CAF-aligned football framework that benefits the
entire game.
