ZIFA President Nqobile Magwizi has welcomed Kirsty Coventry, the newly appointed president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), in a move that is expected to strengthen ties between the two organizations.
Coventry, a highly respected Olympian and minister of youth, sport, arts, and recreation in Zimbabwe, took over as IOC president with a vision to promote unity and excellence in the world of sports.
Magwizi, who has been at the helm of ZIFA since January this year, has pledged his support for Coventry’s leadership, citing her exceptional leadership qualities and commitment to promoting sports development.
The meeting between Magwizi and Coventry marks a significant milestone in the relationship between ZIFA and the IOC, with potential benefits for Zimbabwean football and the country’s Olympic endeavors.
Magwizi’s endorsement of Coventry’s presidency is seen as a vote of confidence in her ability to lead the IOC and promote the values of Olympism.
