CAPS United are challenging for the Castle Lager Premiership title.
The Green Machine have not won the league in the past decade.
Their last success story came in 2016.
They were the last team, among the Big Three, to win the championship.
Makepekepe unveiled their 2026 kit in Harare on Wednesday night.
Club CEO, Morton Dodzo said their mission was to win the league.
“This is going to be a different year where we are going to be challenging for the championships,” said Dodzo. The event was used not only to showcase the team’s new playing colours but also to set the tone for a season of high expectations.
The Green Machine have been active in the transfer market and have brought in a number of new players.
The club brought in championship-winning coach Takesure Chiragwi and gave him a blank cheque to get the payers he wanted.
Notable new arrivals include striker Obriel Chirinda, midfielder Nyasha Gurende, and goalkeeper Wallace Magalane, all of whom are expected to play pivotal roles in the title charge.
To ensure the squad is battle-ready for the challenges ahead, CAPS United lined up a rigorous pre-season programme.
The team faced tough international opposition, in Malawi, in friendly matches designed to test their tactical cohesion and resilience.
CAPS United will be opening their Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match against AGAMA at Rufaro on Sunday.
Midfielder Tanaka Shandirwa believes they are now in a position to compete.
“We have been gelling as a team over the weeks and we hope to see ourselves being able to perform well come the league games.
“We are starting with AGAMA and we are ready to collect maximum points,” he said.
