Global Elite Flock to Pope Francis Funeral
The Pope will have a simple funeral, as he wanted. Leaders start gathering at 8:30 a.m., followed by priests in St. Peter's Square.

Navaya Could Set 30-Goal PSL Record
TelOne striker Washington Navaya scored seven goals in seven games this season. His hot start has fans wondering if he can reach records set years ago. Moses Chunga holds the all-time mark with 30 goals in 1986. Norman Maroto scored 22 goals for the Gunners in 2010, the last player to pass 20 goals in a season. Several players came close with 17 or 18 goals but never broke through. Navaya stands 1.81m tall with an unusual but effective style that troubles defenders. He played for TelOne during their 2019 season before joining Highlanders when the team went down. He returned this year under coach Herbert Maruwa as part of a rebuilt squad. The team sits fifth in the league standings with 11 points. They face the Highlanders today at...
Underdog MWOS Poised to Dethrone Simba Bhora
MWOS leads the Premier Soccer League as newcomers. The Norton team sits atop the standings with 17 points after seven games. They remain unbeaten with six clean sheets. Their record surpasses all previous league debutants. They face champions Simba Bhora today at Wadzanayi Stadium. Coach Lloyd Mutasa keeps expectations reasonable despite their success. His team already won at Wadzanayi Stadium against Herentals. MWOS allows fewer goals than past newcomers like Blackpool, Shabanie Mine, or FC Platinum. Their defense makes them real contenders rather than surprise upstarts. Simba Bhora presents a serious challenge with just one home loss in 21 games. Joel Luphahla respects MWOS as organized opponents who make few mistakes. Both teams...
Benza Finally Finds Net as Herentals Sink GreenFuel
Captain Tinotenda Benza scored his first goal this season to help Herentals beat GreenFuel 1-0 on Friday at Rufaro Stadium. His goal came five minutes before halftime when he controlled a cross into the box and finished calmly from close range. The win moved Herentals into the top half of the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League standings. They could rise higher if awarded points from their earlier abandoned match against Kwekwe United. Herentals started strong with Zibusiso Ruguchu testing GreenFuel goalkeeper Ashley Rayners early. GreenFuel almost scored when Godknows Mutina hit the post with a curling shot. After halftime, substitute Collins Dhuwa forced a save from Herentals keeper Tinotendaishe Takarinda. GreenFuel pushed for an...
Gem Boys Desperate for a Win After Rocky Start
Manica Diamonds sees hope despite their rocky start to the 2025 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season. The team sits six points behind leaders MWOS after seven weeks, with three wins, two draws, and two losses. They face struggling Chicken Inn today at Sakubva stadium as they hunt for their first back-to-back victories this season. Coach Jairos Tapera remains positive even after last week when his team lost a 2-0 lead against TelOne, ending with a 2-2 draw. Injuries hurt the squad's progress, with key defenders Lawrence Mhlanga, Rainsome Pavari, and Liberty Masvaure likely missing today. Their absence shows as the once-solid defense has allowed eight goals already this season. Charles Teguru has scored two goals this season...
Silent Killer Kawe Back to Stun Kariba
Vasili Kawe returned to Nyamhunga stadium as a champion after once playing there as a struggling midfielder for ZPC Kariba. He won the 2024 PSL title with Simba Bhora but currently plays for Scottland FC, an expensive new team. The Warren Park native became the heart of Scottland despite their slow start with 12 points from 21 possible. Fans call him "The Silent Killer" because he creates a special bond with supporters after matches. He stays on the pitch to salute crowds, a ritual that made him famous through viral videos. His teammates nickname him "The Entertainer" because he lifts spirits with jokes before games. Scottland faces ZPC Kariba today as Kawe returns to his former home ground. His team sits level on points with...
