Fifa Southern Region Development officer Ashford Mamelodi will this morning inaugurate the Zifa Goal Project III at the Zifa Village in Mt Hampden.

Zifa has completed the first two phases of the village which include a conference centre and accommodation facilities, and these were approved for use by Fifa two months ago before an application for the third phase was given the nod.

The Goal Programme allows each member association of Fifa to receive funding for football development projects that respond to special needs of their national associations.

For the 2011-2014 cycle, and with the approval of the Congress, Fifa’s executive committee has set funding for each goal project at $500 000.

In addition, each project must be submitted to the goal bureau for its approval.
