Soccer-Zimbabwe football association board suspended after World Cup ignominy


CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's participation in next January's Africa Cup of Nations finals was put in jeopardy on Tuesday, as the country's Sports and Recreation Commission suspended the board of the football association (ZIFA).

The announcement was made without explanation, which the commission said would be detailed later, but comes after Zimbabwe finished bottom of their World Cup qualifying group, failing to win a match.
