THE ZIFA Northern Region Division One League have released their roadmap for the 2023 season.

The NRSL are largely considered the best run league in the country.

CUMA Academy, Golden Valley, Cam & Motor FC and Harare City Cubs are the confirmed relegated teams.

They will be replaced by MWOS FC, OMNIA FC, Shamva Mine FC, Concession United and FC Prisons Stars.

“These teams stand to be promoted to the Northern Region Division One League once they meet our set criteria, as was communicated to them at our recent meeting.

“The grounds inspections will be done as soon as possible and be reminded that only certified venues will be cleared to host NRSL matches,” said the league’s chairman, Martin Kweza.

Kweza also urged Northern Region league teams to take advantage of the rainy season to improve their grounds’ turf.
