THE skies have opened up to a light drizzle that is sweeping across the city but the atmosphere at Barbourfields Stadium remains carnival as two of the country’s biggest teams battle it out.
Highlanders is hosting Dynamos in a Jairos Jiri Charity Cup at Barbourfielfs Stadium this Sunday afternoon.
Rains or the lightest of drizzles normally keep fans away from football matches yet at Barbourfields Stadium, the opposite is true.
Its been a long off season without football in Zimbabwe and the number of fans that paid to watch the Jairos Jiri Charity Cup is proof that fans missed watching their favourite teams.
Football is game of emotions so its not surprising that both sets of fans want a win and the first silverware of the season for their teams.
As actions swings from the Soweto End to the Mpilo End, every missed goal opportunity, foul, a string of beautiful passes and offside, is a chance for Bosso and DeMbare fans to witness glimpses of what the 2026 Premier Soccer League has in store for them.
At the VIP section, where the two the Zimpapers sports writers are reporting from, the stand is a mixture of Bosso and DeMbare fans.
As action swings from one goal post to the other, the camaraderie in the VIP shows that both sets of fans understand that the game of football is a unifier and not a source of conflict.
