ZIFA chief executive officer, Yvonne Manwa’s contract will not be renewed after its conclusion on December 31, the association has said.

According to a statement announcing her impending exit and the expected search for her replacement, ZIFA said she had opted not to renew it.

“Under her leadership, ZIFA recorded several major achievements including the development and adoption of a new ZIFA Constitution, the successful conduct of electoral processes that ushered in the current Executive Committee, the facilitation of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Sports and Recreation Commission, the comprehensive restaffing of the secretariat, the launch of the ZIFA Women’s Foot-ball Strategy (2025-28), and the seamless return of Zimbabwe to full international football participa-tion, punctuated by the Senior Men’s National Team’s qualification for AFCON 2025.

“Having guided ZIFA through an extensive period of institutional renewal, Ms Manwa has elected to conclude her contract and pave the way for a successor,” read the ZIFA statement.

Manwa was appointed into the position by Zimbabwe’s Normalisation Committee during its transition from a FIFA suspension.
