Dynamos faces unbeaten FC Platinum today as worries grow about the club falling apart. The team pulled out of next season's CAF Confederation Cup because they lack money and proper organization. Former chairman Patson Moyo thinks this decision shows how badly the club has declined from its glory days. He ran Dynamos back when they reached the Champions League semifinals during tough economic times. Moyo believes current owner Bernard Marriot needs help to save the famous football brand.
The Glamour Boys sit 14th on the league table with just 14 points from 16 matches. They went 11 games without winning before beating Yadah last Thursday. Coach Saul Chaminuka feels hopeful after that victory and thinks the team created many good scoring chances. Some fans have started staying away from games because they feel frustrated with the team's poor performance.
Moyo warns that losing Dynamos would hurt football development across the country. He remembers when the club reached the Champions League final in 1998 and played continental matches in packed stadiums. The former boss thinks pulling out of African competition damages the club's reputation when the government spends money upgrading stadiums. Dynamos remains Zimbabwe's biggest football name but needs direction and unity to return to success. Today's match against FC Platinum might provide some relief but the real challenge involves saving the club's proud history.
