ZIFA Schedules Premier Soccer League Elections for July 25
ZIFA has scheduled elections for the Premier Soccer League on July 25, following Twine Phiri’s resignation. Elections will also be held for the Women’s Premier Soccer League on the same day, with a focus on ensuring a transparent and inclusive process, according to ZIFA President Nqobile Magwizi.
In a recent announcement, ZIFA has scheduled elections for the new chairman of the Premier Soccer League for July 25. This news comes in light of the fact that the PSL has been operating without a chairman since Twine Phiri resigned in December of the previous year. The upcoming elections will not only fill the chairman’s role but also see elections for two deputy chairperson positions and three members of the emergency committee.
Interestingly, the same date will also see elections for the Women’s Premier Soccer League, where participants will vote for a chairperson, vice chairperson, and five committee members. The dual election date reflects a strategic effort to enhance the leadership structures within both leagues. ZIFA President Nqobile Magwizi emphasized the significance of these elections, stating, “The PSL and WPSL elections represent an important milestone in the renewal of our football structures.”
Furthermore, Magwizi expressed ZIFA’s commitment to ensuring an electoral process characterized by integrity and transparency. He insisted that the organization aims to strengthen football’s foundation in Zimbabwe, aiming for a more cohesive and inclusive environment. This announcement indicates a renewed focus on both men’s and women’s football in the nation, which is vital for the sport’s growth and development going forward.
In summary, ZIFA’s announcement of the upcoming elections for both the Premier Soccer League and the Women’s Premier Soccer League marks a pivotal moment in revitalizing football governance in Zimbabwe. With elections set for July 25, stakeholders have the opportunity to shape the future leadership of these leagues. ZIFA’s commitment to a fair and transparent election process is essential for building stronger football structures in the country.
