Fans countrywide will also have a treat of entertainment between Good Friday and Easter Monday, as the PSL management spread the matches for the whole of that period.
How Mine and rejuvenated Caps United open up the exciting long weekend on Thursday, with a potentially explosive encounter in Bulawayo, while millions of fans the world over will have an opportunity to witness the tie on SuperSport.
Smarting from a narrow 0-1 defeat at the hands of former champions Highlanders over the weekend, Tsholotsho FC will have a chance to redeem themselves when they face Chicken Inn on Good Friday.
Another debutant side Wha-Wha FC, will again be on the same mission that day at their favourite hunting ground – Ascot stadium, hoping to burst Harare City’s bubble, following the municipal side’s 2-0 victory against the Gamecocks last week.
Among the quartet of the debutants, only Dongo Sawmills are likely to meet their baptism of fire, having been paired with champions Dynamos.
Bosso and Hwange have a date on the same day. Meanwhile, DeMbare’s midfield maestro, Ronald ‘Rooney’ Chitiyo, recently declared the side would go beyond winning the PSL championship but will do everything possible to grab all cups available.
After he scored the solitary goal that sank Chapungu at Ascot Stadium last week, the diminutive player – who will be crossing the Limpopo River for the South African National First Division in July, reiterated that time had come for the Glamour Boys “to show the world that we are the real conquerors of Zimbabwean football.”
“We have been winning the championship for four years now. So we cannot remain with only that achievement. We need to do the same to all the cups that will be available this year. That way, we will undoubtedly be the real champions in this country,” he said.
To date only the Net-One One Wallet Cup and Chibuku Super Cup have been confirmed for the season, with uncertainty still hanging over the once prestigious Mbada Diamonds Cup. The ZIFA cup is expected to be re-introduced this year.
