The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) wishes to inform the nation, the media fraternity, and all that midfielder Tawanda Chirewa has been granted permission to leave the national team camp, as had been agreed prior to the player joining the camp.
This decision was reached with the full blessing and consent of ZIFA, after Wolverhampton Wanderers formally requested an opportunity for the player to be assessed by their new technical team as part of their internal preparations for the season ahead.
ZIFA emphasises that this development is not a withdrawal, nor does it reflect any dispute or disagreement.
Instead, it represents a professional and mutually respectful alignment between the national association and the player’s parent club, an alignment that prioritises the athlete’s long-term development while safeguarding Zimbabwe’s national football interests.
Zimbabwe remains united and focused as preparations for upcoming international assignments intensify.
The Association extends its gratitude to all supporters for their unwavering passion and commitment to the national cause.
