The potential explosive encounter between the two Mashava based, Division 2 league outfits is set for this weekend where the newly registered Power Football Club (FC), backed by local gold miners, makes its first appearance in the Masvingo ZIFA Division Two League.
Power FC will play the chrome miners-owned Smarlia FC at King Mine Stadium on Sunday 8, May 2025.
Power FC head coach, Maxwell Kwangwari, confirmed their entrance in the Masvingo ZIFA Division 2 League and said he was optimistic that the team will display a masterclass performance of football against their local rivals.
“To all loyal fans of Power FC, don’t expect anything else but a pulse pounding match. It is not going to be easy for the chrome miners. I encourage all soccer-loving people in Mashava to come and support their team,” said Kwangwari.
The technical bench, led by Kwangwari, will include Honest Wamme Chiriminga as the assistant coach, Lloyd Moyo as the goalkeepers’ coach and Peace Vengai in charge of the team’s medical duties.
The club owners aspire to elevate the team to the country’s second-tier league (Division One) next season, aiming to bring back Mashava football community to its former glory days when the mining community used to have teams and players that played in the Premier Soccer League (PSL)
The league consists of ten teams which include Sharp Arrows FC, Chiredzi Stars FC, Chiwaz FC, First Touch, Garariah FC, Molsport FC, Herentals FC and the army outfit Four Lions FC.
In Division 1 matches, Mashava based Great Zimbabwe University (GZU FC) will host Manica Diamonds U19 FC at Gethsmine Stadium on Saturday June 7 2025.
