Zimbabwe Football Association reversed a Premier Soccer League decision that would have eliminated relegation and expanded the top division to 22 teams after club governors voted unanimously to protect struggling sides from demotion. ZIFA leadership declared the resolution invalid, stating that promotion and relegation remain essential to preserving competitive integrity and sporting merit within the league structure.

The governing body confirmed four clubs will drop from the Castle Premier Soccer League following final weekend matches, with bottom-placed Kwekwe United holding just 10 points and three additional teams facing elimination. Critics condemned the attempted suspension as self-serving manipulation that would have created fixture congestion and undermined accountability for poor performance.

ZIFA instructed that any future proposals to modify participant numbers must follow formal submission procedures through proper administrative channels.
