The preliminary round and first-round draws for the Chibuku Super Cup were conducted in Harare on Tuesday.

The competition will revert to the traditional knockout format from the preliminary round.

In the previous edition that acted as a warm-up tournament to the 2021/22 season, the eighteen top-flight teams were grouped into four groups, with the top two sides progressing to the quarterfinals.

The draw was based on the log table of the Castle Lager Premiership Matchday 17, and the knockout tournament will start on 6 August and runs until 19 November.

The four least ranked teams will begin their campaigns in the preliminary stage. The winners will progress to the first round, where they will join the teams ranked from number 1-14.
