New ZIFA President to Earn US$50K Annual Bonus

ZIFA Elections

The incoming ZIFA president will receive an annual tax-free bonus of US$50,000 from CAF as compensation for their time managing the national football association. This equates to approximately US$4,166 per month.

The new ZIFA leader will assume office on January 25.

Last October, the heads of national football associations saw their annual CAF bonuses significantly increased, rising from US$20,000 to US$50,000. The decision, supported by all 54 CAF member nations, was announced by CAF president Patrice Motsepe, who described the amount as still “insignificant.”

“Some of your presidents lack resources and often fund their associations from their own pockets,” Motsepe explained.

CAF vice presidents and executive members will each receive US$20,000 annually, while presidents of regional bodies, such as COSAFA and CECAFA, will get US$25,000 per year. Meanwhile, Motsepe’s special advisers, Danny Jordaan and Jacques Anouma, are set to receive US$20,000 annually.

Although heads of national associations serve as volunteers rather than full-time employees, CAF believes they should be compensated for the time and effort they dedicate to their roles.

In comparison, FIFA vice presidents, including Motsepe, receive US$300,000 annually, while FIFA president Gianni Infantino earns approximately US$4.67 million per year.

The race for the ZIFA presidency includes six qualified candidates: Philemon Machana, Martin Kweza, Nqobile Magwizi, Twine Phiri, Makwinji Soma-Phiri, and Marshall Gore.

ZIFA is expected to confirm the final list of candidates and eligible voting members of the Council tomorrow.
