Said Magwizi:<\/p>\n<p>Fans could purchase tickets for these legend seats at a small extra fee, with a portion supporting the families of the players we celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>Picture this: fans seated in the \u201cPeter Ndlovu 12\u201d or \u201cMoses Chunga 7\u201d seats, taking selfies and sharing memories of these legends on social media.<br \/>\nWe\u2019d create an atmosphere of pride, excitement, and connection in our stadiums, one seat at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Magwizi said this initiative wouldn\u2019t just honour history but inspire the future. Young players would dream of seeing their name on a seat one day. He said:<\/p>\n<p>Every match day would become a celebration of our heritage and a reminder of what\u2019s possible in Zimbabwean football.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s celebrate our heroes, uplift their families, and unite fans under a common cause. As ZIFA President, this will be one of many steps I\u2019ll take to restore pride and passion to our football. Together, we can make this dream a reality.<\/p>\n<p>Magwizi also said some stadium seats will be dedicated to people who have had an impact on football, despite not playing the game, such as commentators like Charles Mabika, as well as scouts, and football executives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Zimbabwe<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
