FC Platinum will officially be crowned the 2018 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League champions this afternoon when they face Ngezi Platinum Stars at Mandava Stadium.

The Pure Platinum Play won their second successive championship in the previous round when they beat cross-town rivals Shabanie Mine 0-1 to move to an unassailable 72 points.

The decision was made last week by the PSL after FC Platinum made a formal request to be crowned champions on their home soil.

Under normal circumstances league champions get their medals and trophy on the last day of the season on which the Zvishavane-based side will play Highlanders at Barbourfields Stadium.

Ngezi who were in the title race until Match-day 32 will perform a guard of honour for the winners. PSL chairman Farai Jere is expected to attend the match.

Meanwhile, there will be an after-party at Gresham Grounds which start at 7 pm. Seh Calaz, Hwindi President, King Shaddy and Pachihera are some of the artists that will perform at the function.
