THE 2015 Zifa Eastern Region Division One soccer season is set to start next month with 25 teams having expressed interest to register with the league, an official has confirmed.

In a statement, Zifa Eastern Region chairperson, Piwaishe Mabhena said the region held its annual general meeting recently where a number of resolutions were passed.

He however, said the league could only accommodate 18 teams so some of the teams might not be registered.

“We expect our fixtures to commence on April 4, 2015.

“We’ve at least 25 teams that have shown interest to participate in our league this year.

“We shall further assess the capacities of the prospective new teams to participate in our league and trim them down to 18,” said Mabhena.

He said the league hasn’t secured any sponsorship yet but prospective sponsors have since been identified.
