The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) is set to benefit from a 33% increase in its annual grant from the Confederation of African Football (CAF), with the allocation for each member association rising to US$700,000.

CAF president Patrice Motsepe announced the increase on Wednesday, with the funding available to all 54 member associations as part of the continental body’s continued investment in football development.

The annual allocation has increased from the previous US$525,000 to US$700,000, marking a US$175,000 rise.

CAF said the additional funding is intended to support football development structures, youth and women’s football, administration and governance, as well as sustainable programmes for players, coaches and referees.

The continental football body has also increased its annual funding for zonal unions by 20%, from US$750,000 to US$900,000, while the allocation for the African Clubs Association has risen from US$400,000 to US$500,000.
