Zifa resumes football equipment distribution

FIFA Forward and Projects Manager Kudzai Chitima says Zifa remains committed to promoting football at all levels and empowering future generations through the universal language of sport.

Chitima revealed this at the back of the announcement that Zifa will be continuing with the distribution of football equipment around the country.

“Zifa is delighted to announce the resumption of its football equipment distribution initiative across the nation, in partnership with Fifa.

Under the esteemed auspices of Fifa, this impactful programme has this week embarked on a significant journey through Mashonaland Central Province and is set to reach the vibrant communities of Mazowe, Guruve, Mbire, Muzarabani, Mt Darwin, Rushinga, Bindura and Shamva, where both primary and secondary schools are set to benefit,” Zifa said.

The donation of equipment is meant to increase mass participation in the game of football.
“The Fifa programme is designed to foster mass participation in the beautiful game within schools, with a particular focus on children aged four to 14.

Beyond the joy of playing football, this initiative serves as a platform for imparting essential life skills such as decision-making, teamwork and interpersonal communication.

Zifa is proud to highlight the inclusive nature of this initiative, as all schools under the National Association of Primary School Heads (Naph), the National Association of Secondary School Heads (Nash), Association of Trust Schools (ATS), and Zimbabwe Independent Colleges Association (Zica) are represented in this endeavour.”

According to Zifa, they are targeting to make a difference in 100 schools in each province.
“This nationwide effort aims to impact at least 100 schools in each province, with a special emphasis on marginalised areas, thereby totalling 1 000 schools nationwide.

Through this extensive outreach, we aspire to cultivate a culture of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and personal development among Zimbabwe’s youth.”

Chitima said: “Zifa remains committed to promoting football at all levels and empowering future generations through the universal language of sport. We extend our gratitude to Fifa for their unwavering support and partnership in this noble cause.” — @innocentskizoe
