NINE teams are taking part in the Majinkila Hope Foundation and KitAid soccer tournament at Lobengula and Njube on Sunday.
The event is brainchild of Thamsanqa Ndlovu and Lobengula United.
“We are grateful to those who have supported KitAid over the years. We will continue to support junior development and women’s soccer in the region. We believe every kid has a dream, if we can offer a platform and an environment that promotes the identification of the next star player from Zimbabwe, we will be happy,” said Ndlovu.
Bulawayo Junior league has been one of the most productive over the decades producing legends like Madinda Ndlovu, Ephraim Chawanda, Agent Sawu, Misheck Sibanda, Isaac Riyano, Max Tshuma, Tito Paketh, Peter Nkomo, Peter Ndlovu, Benjani Mwaruwari, Thabani Masawi, Gift Lunga (Jnr), Lloyd Jowa, Mpumelelo Dzowa, the late Mercedes Sibanda, Willard Khumalo, Rahman Gumbo, Tutani Moyo and Obey Sova in a long list of legends.
In the first round robin match at Njube Ground, Chicken Inn beat Eland Rovers 1-0 with former Zimbabwe international Danny Phiri and Ben Nyahunzvi the Gamecocks development coaches.
