Zimbabwe Football Association engagement report
@online_zifa - 82K followers on X
Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 4, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 82K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.3K times each, and 0.232% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.57% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 37% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 78% carry an image or video and 25% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 142 interactions, about 47x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #futurestartshere, #rootsimpactprogramme, #knockoutfootball.

Compared with accounts its own size
Zimbabwe Football Association's engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 4 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 12% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.004%, Zimbabwe Football Association sits above the 10th percentile of the 66,971 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.016%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 78% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 25% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 78% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 25% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 353 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

At Under-15 level, we identify. At Under-17, we develop. At Under-20, we prepare. At Under-23, we provide the bridge into senior football. And at senior level, we expect performance. Each stage has a clear purpose, and each coach has a responsibility not only to the team they lead today, but also to the next stage of the playerβs journey. That is why these appointments must be viewed as one collective decision rather than a series of individual appointments. READ MORE in the latest instalment of INSIDE ZIFA ππΎ https://t.co/Rpo2uSLXFr

The journey has been long. It has humbled us. But today, we can finally look towards the National Sports Stadium and see something that has been missing from Zimbabwean football for too long - home. Soon, the Warriors, the Mighty Warriors and all our national representatives will have the opportunity to walk out in Harare for an international fixture. The long journey is not over. But the road home is now open. Let us protect it. Let us fill it. Let us make it our fortress again. READ MORE in the latest instalment of INSIDE ZIFA with Nqobile Magwizi ππΎ https://t.co/c4FlQv8YA5

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 82K followers, an engagement rate of 0.004%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 6,874 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.3K times each, and 0.232% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is Zimbabwe Football Association's engagement rate on X?
- Zimbabwe Football Association (@online_zifa) has an engagement rate of 0.004%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 82,060 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.004%, Zimbabwe Football Association sits above the 10th percentile of the 66,971 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @online_zifa have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (6,874 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @online_zifa post?
- Most posts go out around 08:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
