FIFA has fined Zimbabwe $10,400 and awarded Ivory Coast a 3 - 0 win after the women's team failed to play an Olympic qualifier against Ivory Coast.

Zimbabwe's women's team withdrew from the tie before the second leg because Zifa could not raise the money to send the team to the Ivory Coast.

In March the men's team was expelled from qualifying for the 2018 World Cup because Zifa could not pay outstanding wages to a former coach.

The men's under-20 team was banned for three years for missing an African qualifier in Angola in 2012, also because it couldn't afford to travel.
