ABSTRACT

Rhodesia (colonial Zimbabwe) was a member of FIFA from 1965 until its suspension in 1970, playing a single qualifying match against Australia for the 1970 World Cup. Rhodesia was under sanctions as a result of the white minority regime’s unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) from Great Britain, which affected athletes’ ability to participate in international sport. Football was the most popular sport for the black majority, though like other sports it was organized around private clubs, allowing informal racial segregation to persist. The Football Association of Rhodesia (originally the Southern Rhodesian Football Association) was the official FIFA affiliate, though it faced persistent challenges to its control of Rhodesian soccer as a result of its white leadership. A new racially integrated organization, the National Football Association of Rhodesia (NFAR), became the controlling body for football under black leadership by the mid-1970s. NFAR became the Zimbabwe Football Association and was admitted to FIFA in 1980.

摘要

罗德西亚（殖民地津巴布韦）从1965年开始担任FIFA的成员，直到1970年停赛，他在1970年世界杯足球赛中与澳大利亚进行了一场预选赛。由于白人少数派政权从英国单方面宣布独立（UDI），罗得西亚受到制裁，这影响了运动员参加国际体育的能力。足球是黑人中最受欢迎的运动，尽管与其他运动一样，足球是在私人俱乐部周围组织的，从而使非正式的种族隔离得以持续。罗得西亚足球协会（原称南罗得西亚足球协会）是FIFA的官方附属机构，尽管由于其白人领导层，其对罗得西亚足球的控制面临持续的挑战。一个新的种族融合组织，罗得西亚国家足球协会（NFAR）在1970年代中期成为黑人领导下的足球控制机构。NFAR成为津巴布韦足球协会，并于1980年加入FIFA。
