Fifa has lifted its 18-month suspension of the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa), just days before the draw for the African qualification competition for the 2026 World Cup, officials confirmed on Monday.
An interim normalisation committee has been appointed to run Zifa's affairs until elections for a new management team are held.
Zimbabwe was suspended by the global governing body in February 2022 after perceived government interference in the running of the troubled football association. The executive committee of Zifa was ordered dissolved in November 2021 by the country's Sports and Recreation Commission, a government-appointed body, amid allegations that money given to the association by the state for Zimbabwe's participation at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations finals was misappropriated.
