a�?The challenge matches that will see five teams fight it out on a round robin format on 25 June will start the league.
One of the teams is made up of former premiership footballers,a�? said GrassrootSoccer Zimbabwe managing director Bhekimpilo Moyo.
The league matches will take place at the Football For Hope Centre located in Bulawayoa��sA� Gwabalanda suburb.
a�?We want the league to run almost daily. People will choose a day when they will be comfortable to play. They can even play after hours since the centre has floodlights.
a�?We are looking forward to have 10 clubs per league and this is meant to keep people fit and we are happy that we have a lot of enquiries.
We are targeting to have teams from communities, churches, workmates, ex footballers, and anyone who can form a team whether male or female,a�? said Moyo.
He added that the registration fee is pegged at $2.50 for an individual player per month.
a�?The registration fee that we charge is meant to maintain the centre. We will need to pay for electricity and water as the dressings have showers. Ita��s a community centre that is meant to benefit everyone,a�? said Moyo.
At the centre people can also access to health services such as HIV testing, male circumcision and family planning services. .
