The Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG) announced that Zimbabwe officially joined as a member, alongside Kazakhstan, Morocco, Togo, Zambia, and Mongolia on December 21st 2024.

This addition reflects the continued global growth of the FIFG throughout 2024. The Zimbabwe FootGolf Association (ZFSA) which was established in November 2022, is dedicated to promoting and developing FootGolf across the nation. Its mission includes increasing awareness, enhancing infrastructure, fostering competition, expanding membership, and building partnerships.

The executive team is led by President Daniel Kuwengwa, with Ajusa Willta as Vice President, Linet Nyakunu as Secretary, Luke Garikai as Treasurer, Patience Chisekochevana as Technical Director, and Angelica Garira as Marketing Director. The ZFSA operates on five strategic pillars: FootGolf Development, Development through FootGolf, FootGolf Diplomacy, FootGolf Entrepreneurial, and FootGolf Tourism.

To ensure inclusivity, the association offers programs tailored for beginners, children, teenagers, women, seniors, and individuals with disabilities. FootGolf in Zimbabwe has established a robust structure across all 72 districts, featuring a National Assembly that includes an executive, commissions, and representatives from various organizations.

The country has actively participated in regional tournaments in South Africa, sending 25 players in April 2024 and 20 players in October 2024. Notable tournaments include the Sherwood Harare Footgolf Tournament in June 2023, the Bindura Patron Tournament in May 2024, the Claremont Nyanga Selection Tournament in March 2024, and the Troutbeck Nyanga Regional Qualifier in August 2024, along with events in Chipinge, Gutu, and two Midlands tournaments at Senga High School and Gweru Golf Club.

Daniel Kuwengwa, President of the Zimbabwe FootGolf Association, expressed enthusiasm about the recent developments, stating, “The train is moving. FootGolf Zimbabwe is now a global organization, opening many opportunities for our footgolfers. We have been officially accepted into the elite Federation of International FootGolf Community, widening our horizons to the international community.”
