A big vote will decide who leads Zimbabwe's football association, known as ZIFA. The election takes place today in Harare, the capital city.
ZIFA has not had a new president since 2018. The last elected leader was Felton Kamambo. Many things have happened since then.
In 2021, a government group suspended the ZIFA leaders. They said ZIFA was not being run well. This brave move led to changes.
FIFA, which oversees world soccer, banned Zimbabwe for 18 months. However, this also helped improve ZIFA. A special committee was temporarily put in charge.
The election is very important. People from FIFA and African soccer groups have come to watch it, and they want to ensure it goes smoothly.
The candidates have been campaigning hard. They each promise to improve Zimbabwean football.
Whoever wins will have a big job. They must make the sport more popular and successful, and they will need to work with many different people.
The candidates include former players and business leaders. They all love the game. They believe they have the skills to lead.
Some key goals are building trust, upgrading stadiums, and growing the sport at all levels. They want to excite fans and create new opportunities.
It will not be easy, but the election offers hope for a fresh start. Zimbabwean football could have a bright future.
