The development follows a visit to the country by the confederation’s Secretary General, Raj Gaya, and Vice President Godfrey Masuwa to the country last week.
Following the visit in which they met with various stakeholders who include the Sport and Recreation Commission and the Zimbabwe Olympic Committee an interim committee was set up.
The interim committee will be led by President Chipo Zumburani, Secretary General Silvester Mautsa, Treasurer Alhan Ahmed and three vice presidents Tinashe Jinga, John Imbeah and Arthur Meakin.
BCA Secretary General said he is hopeful the interim committee will be in a position to revive the sport in the country.
*** Senegal captain El Hadji Diouf believes a tight defence is the key to his side’s chances of winning their first Africa Cup of Nations. The Teranga Lions have conceded plenty of goals in recent friendlies, only to be saved by their potent attack.
“We need to have the English mentality of trying to keep clean sheets,” the Bolton Wanderers star told BBC Sport. “If we have a clean sheet, we will win games because we score two goals in every game,” Diouf added. Â
*** African-football legend Abedi Pele’ Ayew has tipped his native Ghana to win the Africa Cup of Nations.
The three-times African Player of the Year believes the Black Stars, as hosts of the event, can win despite the loss of injured captain Stephen Appiah.
“Ghana can go all the way because they are playing in front of their home fans and they have a strong squad.
“Losing Appiah will be overcome as Michael Essien and Sulley Muntari are both great midfielders,” Ayew said. Â
