Afcon 2021: Zambia On Standby Should Fifa Ban Zimbabwe

The Warriors could be bundled out of the competition following the Zimbabwe Football Association’s inability to comply with Fifa’s directives.

Zambia have been placed on standby to feature at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in case Zimbabwe are banned by the Federation of International Football Association (Fifa) with just a few days to the start of the competition.

Fifa had threatened to impose a ban on the Southern African country due to government interference in the running of the country’s football.

Thus, they ordered that the elected Zimbabwe FA members regain control of the beautiful game by January.
