Zimbabwe Expelled From 2018 World Cup For Failing To Pay Coach

Zimbabwe has been expelled from 2018 World Cup for failing to pay former coach Jose Claudinei Georgini. Football's world governing body Fifa said in a statement it had taken the action "as a result of the non-payment of an outstanding debt".

The governing body also added that Zimbabwe's Football Association (Zifa) failed to make the payments despite a grace period given to them, hence the reason for their suspension.
