Tendai Ndoro

**Tendai Passion Ndoro** (15 May 1985 – 18 August 2025) was a Zimbabwean professional footballer. He was capped 14 times for Zimbabwe, scoring five goals, and playing for them at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

During the 2017–18 season, Ndoro played for three different teams (Orlando Pirates, Al Faisaly, and Ajax Cape Town), which broke FIFA's rules.
Because of this, Ajax Cape Town had to forfeit the three league games he played in, which resulted in the team getting relegated from the South African Premiership.

Ndoro died in Johannesburg, South Africa on 18 August 2025, at the age of 40.
