THE Premier Soccer League has slashed gate charges for the Chibuku Super Cup final to just US$1 for the rest of the ground while those who wish to witness the action from the VIP will pay just US$2.
Bulawayo Chiefs and Herentals will battle it out in the final to be played on Sunday, November 20 at Barbourfields Stadium.
Initially, the PSL had set November 19 as the date for the final before moving it by a day.
The low gate charges are likely to draw a big crowd given that PSL has been charging US$3 for the rest of the ground.
The reduction of gate charges for the last game of the season is an early Christmas present for football fans.
Besides slashing of gate charges, the PSL yesterday announced that internationally acclaimed dance group Iyasa, rhumba giant Clement Magwaza and Macrey Super Sounds will provide entertainment on the day.
Chiefs and Herentals will be appearing for the first time in the final.
Herentals knocked out 2021 Chibuku Super Cup champions FC Platinum in the semi-finals, scoring a late equaliser to draw 1-1 and took the game to the penalty shootouts and won 4-3.
Chiefs stormed into the Chibuku Super Cup final after beating Black Rhinos 5-4 in penalty shootouts at Mandava Stadium. The match had to be decided through the penalty lottery after ending 0-0 in regulation time.
Matripples Muleya was Chiefs’ semi-finals hero as he dived to his left to deny Black Rhinos’ fifth penalty taker Vincent Mhandu.
With the usual penalty takers Arthur Musiyiwa, Marlvin Mkolo and Kelvin Madzongwe shying away from taking the final spot kick, up stepped Billy Veremu who was not on the list of penalty takers who kept his cool to slot the winner for Amakhosi Amahle. — @ZililoR
