Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has proposed the first week of March next year for the resumption of Premier Soccer League (PSL) football pending local clubs\u2019 approval.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday ZIFA wrote to its affiliates enquiring if they were ready to start training in January. A memo from ZIFA to all affiliates read:<\/p>\n

Following the government\u2019s approval for football to return after the COVID-19 break, the executive committee would like to know if you are prepared to start training on January 4, 2021.<\/p>\n

The proposed date for commencement of league programmes is the first week of March in 2021.<\/p>\n

Please bear in mind that the resumption of all football activities is preceded by mandatory COVID-19 testing of all stakeholders, with only COVID-19 free individuals being allowed to participate while those found positive should self-isolate.<\/p>\n

\u2026 ZIFA will honour its promise to pay for initial tests for all players as well as paying referees\u2019 fees for the forthcoming season.<\/p>\n

ZIFA was granted permission by Government to have the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and women\u2019s Super League return to action following the coronavirus-induced hiatus.<\/p>\n

However, the PSL\u2019s envisaged mini-league tournament has failed to take place due to lack of sponsorship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
