CASTLE Premier Soccer League (PSL) chairman Farai Jere is a man feeling on top of the world after they recently bought 1,4 hectares of land in Harare.
The piece of land will be officially unveiled on 19 December.
“I want to put across this important message to our sponsors, Delta Beverages that as PSL we have managed to purchase our first piece of land. It is the first time that PSL has done that, we have managed to purchase 1,4 hectares of land that will house our offices among other things. The land will be officially unveiled on December 19 and I’m hopeful that our chief executive officer (Kennedy Ndebele) is in the process of writing invitation letters,” said Jere who also took the opportunity at the 2024 Soccer Stars Banquet in Harare on Friday evening to announce that he was now eyeing a position in the Zimbabwe Football Association (Zifa) presidium.
The modern local elite football league, which was formed in 1992, has been renting a building in the Eastlea suburb in Harare which they are using as their national headquarters.
They also rent another one in the country’s second largest city, Bulawayo. Jere, who owns Premiership side Caps United, said the new PSL head offices would be built on a 1,4 hectares stand, further revealing that the facility will have the Women’s Football League offices, a pitch and it’s going to be a state of the art facility.
He also said that they secured the land with the help of league sponsors, Delta Beverages who have been their all-weather friends in the past years despite the challenges that were posed by the Covid-19.
He did not mince his words in thanking local league teams and their leaders for producing quality players that have positively impacted the senior national soccer team.
For the first time under the guidance of a foreign national Michael Nees, the Warriors recently qualified for the 2025 Afcon football jamboree that will be held in Morocco.
This will be Zimbabwe’s sixth appearance at the finals after first doing so under the tutelage of legendary Sunday “Mhofu” Chidzambwa and the captaincy celebrated Peter “Nsukuzonke” Ndlovu in Tunisia 2004. – @FungaiMuderere
