Zifa, PSL, FUZ to thrash player disputes

ZIFA, the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and the Footballers Union of Zimbabwe (FUZ) are working on a player dispute resolution strategy to iron out issues among clubs to ensure a smooth resumption of football activity in the country next month.

The national football governing body’s spokesperson Xolisani Gwesela yesterday said Zifa, the PSL and FUZ were already in discussions following a Fifa course on dispute resolution attended by the three in 2019 and they were meeting to discuss a document that should be operationalised by next week.

Football activity was suspended in March last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and save for the Castle Challenge Cup between Highlanders and FC Platinum, there wasn’t any football action in the country, but there has been a movement of players and some clubs have indicated Fifa guidelines on the status of players were not adhered to.
