THE Premier Soccer League (PSL) has revealed that the 2023 league will commence in February with a Castle Lager Challenge Cup pitting Chibuku Super Cup winners Bulawayo Chiefs and Castle Lager Premiership champions FC Platinum.
In a statement, the PSL said:
“Please be advised that the Premier Soccer League offices will be closed for the holidays from Wednesday, December 21, 2022 and reopen on Monday, January 9, 2023.
“The 2023 season will commence with the Castle Challenge Cup in February 2023.
“We would like to thank all our partners, fans and stakeholders for their unwavering support during the year. We wish you a happy and safe festive season.”
The last league campaign won by FC Platinum produced 254 goals in the first half while 330 were recorded in the second stanza of the campaign.
Of the 594 goals, 12 were own goals while six were awarded in the boardroom.
It was a season that saw Caps United’s William Manondo scoop the Golden Boot Award with 17 goals under his belt, in a stellar performance that saw him outdo a total of 182 scorers in the league in this campaign.
Manondo, Walter Musona (FC Platinum) Delic Murimba (Ngezi Platinum), Eli Ilanga (Black Rhinos), Brian Muza (Chicken Inn), Lynoth Chikuhwa (Highlanders), Thandolwenkosi Ngwenya (FC Platinum) and Emmanuel Paga (Dynamos) were the eight players out of 182 scorers that managed to get to double digits.
Of the eight players cited, five, Manondo, Musona, Muza, Ilanga and Murimba were voted among the country’s eleven Soccer Stars of the Year. — @innocentskizoe
