The Zimbabwe Football Association leaders marked their first 100 days with plans to fix local soccer. After winning elections on January 25, they replaced a temporary group that ran things for almost two years. Business leader Nqobile Magwizi heads the team that promised better money handling than past officials. They have already shared reports about their work to show open management. Companies stayed away from soccer before because they feared poor leadership would harm their names.

The association hired Norman Gwangadza to oversee finances and manage all funds. They also brought in Mark Ruck to help earn more cash from business deals related to soccer. The new team asked a person who lost the election to help find players living abroad for the national team. These players could join before the Africa Cup tournament starts in Morocco this December. The group wants everyone with good ideas to make Zimbabwe soccer better, regardless of past differences.

They plan to build up youth programs that can create future stars for the national squad. Support comes from businesses and a United Nations group that agreed to help. The team asks the government to finish fixing the National Sports Stadium. Zimbabwe teams played home games in other countries during recent tournaments. Their early actions prove that positive changes can happen with the right people leading sports.
