The occasion will also bring to an end to speculation on who the overall Soccer Star of the Year is, as he will bestowed with his crown and receive his pay cheque of $5,000.
The first runner-up will receive $3,000, the third-best player $2,000 and the other finalists will each receive $1,000. The Coach of the Year will get $2,000, the same as the Goalkeeper of the Year and the Most Promising Player of the Year.
Highlanders striker Charles Sibanda is the only survivor from the 11 list of finalists for the crown in 2013. Other finalists are Dynamos’
Steven Alimenda and Blessing Moyo, ZPC Kariba’s Limited Chikafa, Tendai Hove and Dennis Dauda, Caps United’s Tendai Somanja, FC Platinum’s Thabani Kamusoko, Kuda Musharu of How Mine, Evans Rusike of Hwange, and David Kutyauripo of Harare City.
Saul Chaminuka of ZPC Kariba is favoured for Coach of the Year, although Dynamos’ Kalisto Pasuwa is a dark horse. These individual awards are reserved for performance only in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League programme and showing in knockout tournaments does not count.
