FIFA president Sepp Blatter arrived in Zimbabwe on a private jet Monday at the start of a two-day visit to meet ZIFA officials.

Blatter is expected to call on President Robert Mugabe and watch a Cosafa Women's Championship match against Malawi later in the day, state radio reported.

He will also inspect training facilities that urgently need funding.
 
An advance party of four FIFA officials arrived Sunday, including two match-fixing investigators.

Last year, Zimbabwe captain Method Mwanjali and four team mates admitted taking money to lose matches on a 2009 tour to Thailand and Malaysia.

Zimbabwe lost 3-0 to Thailand and 6-0 to Syria, and the players said they were paid between US$500 and US$1,500 by Asian betting syndicates working in cahoots with the former ZIFA CEO Henrietta Rushwaya who lost her job.
