Coronavirus zimbabwe suspend football matches

Yes, the Zimbabwean government has suspended all football matches in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On March 16, 2020, the Zimbabwean government announced a ban on all public gatherings, including sports events, to help contain the spread of the coronavirus. This decision was made after several cases of COVID-19 were reported in the country.

As a result, all football matches in Zimbabwe, including those in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) and the National Football Association (ZIFA) competitions, were suspended indefinitely. The suspension was later extended until further notice.

The decision was made in consultation with the Ministry of Health and Child Care, the Ministry of Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation, and the Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA).

The suspension of football matches in Zimbabwe is part of a broader effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the country. The government has also implemented other measures, such as restricting travel, closing schools, and limiting the number of people who can gather in public places.

It is not clear when football matches in Zimbabwe will resume, but the government has indicated that it will continue to monitor the situation and make decisions based on the advice of health experts.
