THE Confederation of African Football (CAF) president, Issah Hayatou, has agreed to meet a Zimbabwean football delegation in Ghana next month to discuss Zimbabwe’s bid to win back the African Nations Cup 2000 tournament. The Herald newspaper reported on Friday that the meeting will be held on March 6 in Accra, just four days before the CAF deadline for other countries’ bids to host the tournament. Zimbabwean Minister of Sport Gabriel Machinga will attend the crucial meeting. Zimbabwe lost the chance to host the event when CAF decided earlier this month that their preparations were not sufficient.
