Government cuts PSL, ZIFA matchday levies

Zimbabwe's cabinet approved significant reductions in levies on matchday gate takings for PSL and ZIFA, as part of ease of doing business reforms. NewZimbabwe.com reported the move allows clubs to retain more revenue. The friction: while welcomed by football bodies, the cuts reduce government revenue from sports. The core vulnerability: the policy may not address deeper financial mismanagement in local football, and clubs may still struggle with operational costs and player welfare despite the levy reduction.
