adminThe six, two from Dynamos, and one from Highlanders, Caps United, Motor Action and FC Platinum were shortlisted from 1 000 fans who entered the Castle Superfan competition in July.
Patricia Murambinda, the Delta Beverages marketing manager, said the top two fans with highest votes will get a sponsored trip to the continental showpiece.
“Castle Lager are now looking for SuperFans who will represent not only their Premier Soccer League clubs but Zimbabwe on how to support. Now the owners of the game, the fans are taking over the selection. This will be done via sms votes and votes on the Castle Facebook page. The voting closes on 21 October 2012,” said Murambinda.
The programme, which is meant to create hype and excitement in supporting local soccer, started in July with panellists looking for outstanding fans who showed passion and enthusiasm for their clubs.
The judges were looking at fans with best football regalia, passion and the positive influence they had on other fans.
Murambinda reiterated their commitment to supporting local football. “The journey will not stop there, as our fans have been and will continue to be a big part of supporting local football at home and away.
Some of them may even be asked to present the many monthly Castle Lager awards. They will continue to bring excitement to the matches and we will reward them for it,” Murambinda said.
