BULAWAYO — Seven supporters of Highlanders FC have died following a tragic road accident along the Bulawayo–Gwanda Road on Friday evening, in an incident that has sent shockwaves through Zimbabwe’s football community. The fans were travelling from Bulawayo after attending a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match in which Highlanders played to a goalless draw against FC Platinum at Barbourfields Stadium.

BULAWAYO — The Zimbabwe national football team will play an exhibition match against Highlanders FC at Barbourfields Stadium on Wednesday as part of final preparations for the Four Nations Tournament in Botswana. The friendly is intended as both a warm‑up for the Warriors and a celebration of local football, organisers said, with affordable ticketing aimed at encouraging strong fan turnout.

Sources close to the club say Bosso are finalising plans for a short camp outside Zimbabwe as part of preparations for the 2026 campaign. While an earlier proposal had identified Malawi as the preferred destination, Botswana has since emerged as the likely venue pending completion of travel and regulatory paperwork.
