Aspiring Fifa president Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein of Jordan was expected in Harare last night for series of meetings with Zifa president Cuthbert Dube to canvass for support ahead of the world football governing body elections slated for May 29 in Zurich, Switzerland.
Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein is also expected to engage with Sport, Arts and Culture minister Andrew Langa, his deputy Tabetha Kanengoni-Malinga and senior government officials.
Zifa spokesman Xolisani Gwesela confirmed the trip.
"He is arriving tonight (last night) and will meet the Zifa president tomorrow (today)," Gwesela told NewsDay Sports.
Prince Ali Bin Al Hussein, Dutch Football Association boss Michael van Praag and former World Football of the Year Luis Figo are challenging incumbent Sepp Blatter.
Prince Ali will next month publish his detailed manifesto, building on his vision document launched in January.
It follows two months of globetrotting, meeting football's stakeholders. The manifesto will partly be based around their feedback.
