Zimbabwe’s cabinet approves reductions to levies charged on matchday gate takings for football, allowing clubs to keep a larger share of revenue, according to reports. The move forms part of the government’s wider “ease of doing business” reforms and follows a review of licences, permits, levies and fees in the sports sector. Sources say the changes specifically affect payments linked to Premier Soccer League (PSL) and Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) matchday operations. The reports indicate the approved levy cuts are intended to reduce costs for local football clubs and improve their ability to retain income generated from spectators. The coverage frames the decision as part of regulatory adjustments rather than as a single-match or temporary measure. The exact levy rates or the detailed schedule for how the reductions will be applied were not included in the excerpts provided, but both outlets describe cabinet approval and a sports-sector review as the basis for the changes.
