Maguraushe leads the charge as Zim Women's football reaches milestone

HISTORY was made in Zimbabwean women's football as the Zimbabwe Women Soccer League adopted its inaugural constitution, marking a significant milestone in the sport.

HISTORY was made in Zimbabwean women's football as the Zimbabwe Women Soccer League adopted its inaugural constitution, marking a significant milestone in the sport.

The landmark document was unanimously approved by member clubs during a ratification meeting at Yadah Hotel in Harare.

All the 11 clubs in attendance unanimously adopted the constitution, paving the way for a new era in women's football.

Apologies were received from Maningi Youth Soccer Academy, Hope Academy, Conduit Soccer Academy, and ZRP Harare Queens, while MSU Queens were absent.

This milestone marks the first-ever Women Soccer League Constitution in Zimbabwe!

At the forefront of this achievement is Iron Lady Theresa Maguraushe, the visionary chairperson who has driven this initiative.

"This is a momentous day for women's football in Zimbabwe," Maguraushe exclaimed.

"The adoption of our constitution paves the way for a new era of growth, development, and empowerment for women in football."

As part of this development, the league will now be known as the Zimbabwe Women Premier Soccer League (ZWPSL), aligning with the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) constitution. Key features of the new constitution include the requirement for a female chairperson and a seven-member executive board with no more than three male members, ensuring strong female representation in leadership.

Maguraushe's leadership has been instrumental in shaping the ZWPSL's vision and strategy. Her commitment to empowering women and girls through football is unwavering, and this achievement cements her legacy as a trailblazer in women's football.

As the ZWPSL embarks on this new chapter, Maguraushe's vision and determination will continue to inspire and drive progress for women's football in Zimbabwe.
