One of the event organisers, Zondai Nyaungwa, a former Dynamos goalkeeper, said:
“As the defending champions, we are ready to step onto the field and defend the title we worked so hard to win last year.
“Our team has been preparing and fine-tuning our skills and strategies to ensure that we come out on top once again.
“The excitement and anticipation is intense as we gear up to participate in the upcoming tournament.
“With seven other formidable teams set to challenge us, we are fully aware of the tough competition that lies ahead.
“The camaraderie and sportsmanship displayed during these events go a long way in fostering relationships and building a sense of community.
“It is something we have been doing over the years and we believe it works. This year marks a significant milestone for Pan Jap Motors, since its inception in 2014 it has grown and we are celebrating that.”
