Unlike other tourists who are chauffeur driven, Giovanni Vincenzo “Gianni” Infantino’s successor chose to drive himself to the Victoria Falls Hotel for a brief rest before visiting the Victoria Falls rainforest.

Čeferin said he was excited to be in Zimbabwe.

“This is my first time here and I am enjoying the weather because we really want this sun. I am on a private beach visit, but that won’t stop me from talking football matters with Philip,” he said.

Chiyangwa said Čeferin and his family will be in the country for days, they will visit a number of resort areas in the country.

“We have been talking about the Victoria Falls and he told me that they were told that the Falls are dry hence we want them to visit the Rainforest today before they even spend a night here,” said Chiyangwa.
