The Premier Soccer League chief executive Kenny Ndebele has revealed they are making big plans to honour the players who made a difference in the development of domestic football when they commemorate the organisation’s Silver Jubilee next year.

Speaking on Tuesday morning at the Soccer Star of the Year selection for the 2016 season, Ndebele said the milestone will be celebrated in style.

“Next year the Premier Soccer League is celebrating its 25 years of existence and we would like to have a number of activities as commemoration including looking at the big stars; best performers between 1992 and 2017,” he said.

Former Warriors striker Wilfred Mugeyi was the first to win the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Player of the Year award when the league was formed in 1992 following a trailblazing season with Black Aces who were also the inaugural champions of the modern Premiership.

However, the traditional big three – Dynamos, Highlanders and CAPS United - have dominated the competition. DeMbare are the most successful team with eight championship titles since 1992 while Highlanders are second with six and CAPS United have four.

So far 22 different players have won the Soccer Star of the Year award. The league has had its ups and downs during the 25-year journey but crucially it has managed to stay afloat. Ndebele paid tribute to their current sponsors Delta Beverages for their support to football.

“Our partners Delta Beverages have been the driving force behind this whole process. Their commitment has once culminated in another successful Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season.

“I wish to thank the entire Delta Beverages team for their continued support and efforts to develop the game of football in Zimbabwe,” said Ndebele.

However, the partnership between PSL and Delta Beverages is set to expire at the end of the year.
