It’s back! It’s here! The Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League has returned!

After a pre season of transfers, national humiliation at AFCON 2017 and pretending that pre-season friendlies actually matter, the Zimbabwen top-flight kicks back into gear this weekend.

And what a season 2017 promises to be. Since the end of the last campaign, so much has changed, players have moved between clubs, Foreign players will be in the league and so much more.

All of which means we are 100 per cent sure the following things are all definitely going to happen…
