MIDLANDS – After the postponed of the season opener last week due to player registration issues, the ZIFA Central Region Soccer League kicks off this weekend with the Zvishavane derby between Shabanie Mine FC and FC Platinum U19 headlining the fixtures.

Newbies Jame West FC will have its first taste of the league away at Dinson Mvuma while Tongogara FC host the John Phiri coached Blanket Mine FC in what seems on paper an electric encounter.
