FC Platinum To Be Crowned PSL Champions On Final Day
FC Platinum (FCP) will be officially crowned 2021-2022 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) champions in their last match of the season.
The Zvishavane-based club will host Cranborne Bullets at Mandava Stadium in their final match of the season, possibly on 12 November.
FCP will be crowned PSL champions for the fourth time in a row after clinching the league titles in 2019, 2018, and 2017.
There were no league matches in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
PSL spokesperson Kudzai Bare on Tuesday confirmed that Pure Platinum Play will be presented with the league trophy on Match Day 34. She said:
We will do the trophy presentation on the final day of the matches; that is Match Day 34.
FC Platinum was on Saturday, 22 October confirmed as the PSL champions for the 2021/22 season without kicking the ball on Matchday 31.
The club’s title triumph was confirmed after both Chicken Inn and Dynamos failed to win on Friday and Saturday, respectively, on Matchday 31.
DeMbare, who are second on the log standings, lost 0-1 to Bulawayo City, while third-placed Gamecocks played a goalless draw against Herentals.
The results maintained FC Platinum’s 11-point lead before they played their matchday 31 game against CAPS United.
With three games left for Dynamos and Chicken Inn, the gap is now unassailable for the two teams.
FC Platinum’s fourth successive league equals Highlanders and Dynamos’ record for most successive league titles in the Premier Soccer League era.
