After an exciting close to an amazing season, we closed out the year in style at the Castle Lager Soccer Star of the Year Awards. These awards were a fitting celebration of excellence where we rubbed shoulders with the football and media fraternity and recognized players, coaches, and teams who raised the bar through consistency, discipline, and standout performances all year.
Congratulations to our Soccer Star of the year Washington Navaya and to all the finalists and award recipients. We are pleased with the level of performance, professionalism, and commitment shown throughout the year.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the clubs, players, technical teams, match officials, administrators, media partners, and fans who made this season what it was, and we hope to see our Warriors competing well at AFCON after a year of playing competitive football in the local league.
We are excited about what the new year has in store and are already gearing up for the Castle Lager Challenge Cup where League Champions "Mabviravira", Scottland FC will clash with the masters of the knock-out format, the Glamour Boys Dynamos FC!
Finally, it's been my pleasure to go on this seasons' journey with you! Thank you for supporting us and lending us your eyes and ears! To the wonderful editorial team and journalists that work on this magazine, thank you for keeping us informed all season long!
We wish you all a safe and very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year! Cheers!

The countdown to the 2026 football season has officially begun, and what a better way to kick off things than with the electrifying Castle Challenge Cup set for February 28. Fans are in for a blockbuster showdown as holders Dynamos lock horns with sensational debutants Scottland, who stunned all and sundry when they became the first team in 41 years to win the league title on the first attempt.
The 2026 edition featuring two widely followed teams in Harare, carries extra spice. The Glamour Boys have earned a historic third consecutive appearance in the season-opening football feast. But will Dynamos defend their crown? Standing in their way is a team rewriting history, with a strong ambition to conquer beyond Zimbabwe's borders.
With the appointment of seasoned tactician Norman Mapeza, a three-time Castle Challenge Cup winner with FC Platinum, Scottland's ambitions have soared. Fans can only buckle up for a season of drama, rivalries, and history in the making!
