The Zimbabwe Football Association is set to receive US$ 200,000 from the Confederation of African Football.<\/p>\n
The money is from the annual grants which will be disbursed early to the member associations to cushion themselves from the effects of the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n
CAF President Ahmad Ahmad confirmed the news saying: \u201cDue to the fast-spread of COVID-19, African MA\u2019s have suspended all domestic competitions, which has brought about huge financial burdens on their shoulders,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCAF has thus decided to wave the eligibility requirements to access the annual grants, so all MA\u2019s can benefit during this difficult period.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zifa could also get more money from the continental body for additional financial support for the resumption and planning of their domestic competitions.<\/p>\n
The association already has US$500,000 in its account, received from Fifa this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
