Reprieve for Futsal team

The national Futsal (five-a-side) squad have been given a chance to redeem themselves after their 4-2 weekend loss to South Africa in a World Cup first round, first leg qualifier, after the South African Football Association (Safa) agreed to fulfil the return fixture in Harare.

The match will be played next Saturday.
The tie looked set to be decided on a single leg after the Confederation of African Football (Caf) last week wrote to the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) saying the Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex was unfit to host the reverse fixture.
