Women's football in Zimbabwe explained
Women's football in Zimbabwe is popular but women who play the game face stigmatisation.[1] [2]
In 2012, the Zimbabwe Women’s Football Super League was created to improve the Zimbabwe women's national football team.[3] Audience attendances were large for a debut season.[4]
However, the second season of the league did not follow until 2014, after a full year's break.[5] The women's national team qualified for their first Olympic Games in 2016.[6] [7] [8] [9]
