Former ZIFA president Philip Chiyangwa will remain at the helm of COSAFA despite losing the ZIFA Presidential elections on Sunday.

Chiyangwa lost Sunday’s election to Felton Kamambo ending his three year reign after he garnered 24 votes while the winner garnered 35 votes.

In a statement Cosafa said :

The Council of Southern African Football Associations (COSAFA) would like to confirm that Dr Phillip Chiyangwa remains president of the organization despite relinquishing his position with the Zimbabwe Football Association.

After numerous media enquiries, COSAFA can assure member associations that there is nothing in the organization’s constitution that states the president must also hold office with their home football association.
