The Zimbabwe Football Association have been slapped with another lawsuit over debt.
The football association has been dragged to court by LED Travel and Tours, who are demanding US$39 697 reimbursement for airline tickets issued to the Warriors and ZIFA officials when they travelled to Mauritius last month.
Zimbabwe played Mauritius in a CHAN qualifier.
ZIFA (Private) Limited is cited as the second Defendant.
According to the court papers, ZIFA represented by Felton Kamambo and Philemon Machana undertook to settle the debt by August 6 but have not done so.
