“This is a milestone achievement in the history of the sport and we are happy to have finally achieved it, after we failed last year. This will go a long way in the development of the sport,” said Muringani.
Last year, the league was supposed to start under the corporate banner, but failed to kick-off due to lack funds. “This year, we have decided to start the league, although we still don’t have a sponsor, but we used other resources to make it happen rather than wait for a sponsor.”
The league is being dominated by bankers, while teams in Mutare and Bulawayo are dominated by members of the police force.
The league has a total of 18 teams divided into two pools – A and B. Pool A has teams such as NMB, FBC, CBZ, Kingdom and pool B has RBZ, OK, POSB and Stanbic.
Muringani said they would use the league to select national team players. The league will compliment the vibrant schools league which is in place.
