Zifa Central Region Soccer League (CRSL) has attracted a new sponsor, Elseshed, a Gweru-based hardware company.

Elseshed will fund the goalkeeper and top goalscorer of the month awards.

According to NewsDay, Central Region chairperson Stanley Chapeta said the coming in of the new sponsor is aimed at improving the level of competition in the region.

“The CRSL has joined forces with other organisations to come up with initiatives that can help increase the level of competition,” he said.

“Through the latest initiative, there is an opportunity for all players to compete against each other for honours in these monthly awards.”

Meanwhile, the league recently secured a three-year sponsorship from the Zimbabwe General Medical Aid Fund.
