Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>FIFA has ratified Zimbabwe\u2019s indefinite suspension from international football during the 72nd FIFA Congress in Doha, Qatar.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe as well as Kenya and Pakistan were on Thursday suspended indefinitely.<\/p>\n

FIFA suspended ZIFA on 24 February this year over the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC)\u2019s interference in football matters but placed conditions for readmission.<\/p>\n

However, the SRC refused to meet FIFA\u2019s conditions, leaving the world football governing body with no option but to suspend Zimbabwe indefinitely.<\/p>\n

During the FIFA Congress held in Doha, Qatar on Thursday, 199 out of 201 voted for Zimbabwe\u2019s suspension.<\/p>\n

FIFA will only lift the ban when certain conditions are met, among them the unconditional reinstatement of the Felton Kamambo-led ZIFA board.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe will not be allowed to participate in any international football activities.<\/p>\n

This means that the Warriors could miss out on qualification for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations finals.<\/p>\n

Local football clubs will be barred from representing the country in continental competitions.<\/p>\n

Local referees will not be considered for international assignments.<\/p>\n
