The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has announced that the 2023 Castle Lager Premiership will start on 18 March, just a week after the Castle Challenge Cup.
The Castle Challenge Cup will be played at Mandava Stadium in Zvishavane on 11 March and will feature four-time champions FC Platinum and Chibuku Super Cup winners Bulawayo Chiefs.
The PSL also announced that out of the nine stadiums that were inspected this month, Rusape’s Vengere Stadium and Gweru’s Ascot Stadium failed the inspection and will require upgrades to meet the minimum standards. The PSL said in a statement:
The 2023 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season is set to commence on Saturday 18 March 2023.
Please be advised that Ascot Stadium and Vengere Stadium have failed to meet the minimum stadium requirements as set by the ZIFA Club Licensing First Instance Body.
The stadia will not host PSL matches until the necessary requirements are met.
Simba Bhora, Sheasham and Greenfuel will all make their PSL debuts this season, while Hwange will return to the top flight.
FC Platinum are the defending champions and will start the 2023 CLPSL campaign against new boys Simba Bhora.
CAPS United will face Manica Diamonds, Dynamos will take on Hwange, while Highlanders host ZPC Kariba on the opening day.
