IT’S a ritual as old as time where teams prepare for battle by visiting sacred sites and seeking inspiration and blessings from the gods.
For Dynamos, the journey to defending their Chibuku Super Cup title began with a pilgrimage to the heart of the tournament’s soul, the Chibuku Breweries in Harare.
On Friday, the team embarked on a tour of the brewery, immersing themselves in the sights, sounds, and aromas of the legendary beer brand.
It was an exercise in unity, a bonding experience that went beyond the usual team talks and training sessions.
As they navigated the labyrinthine corridors, they were not just visitors, they were pilgrims seeking to tap into the essence of the tournament.
“It’s about understanding the DNA of the brand,” Dynamos CEO Jonathan Mashingaidze said.
“We want to be part of the Chibuku family, to make the tournament an integral part of our identity.”
The brewery tour was more than just a PR stunt. It was a strategic move, a calculated attempt to harness the energy and passion of the Chibuku brand.
By embracing the tournament’s heritage, Dynamos are hoping to tap into the collective psyche of the Zimbabwean football fan.
As they face off against Ngezi Platinum Stars at Rufaro Stadium on Saturday at 2:30 pm, Dynamos will be drawing inspiration from the brewery’s rich history and the fervour of the Chibuku faithful.
It’s a battle for supremacy, a clash of titans, but also a celebration of the beautiful game.
Will Dynamos emerge victorious, or will Ngezi Platinum Stars spoil the party? One thing is certain – the Chibuku Super Cup final promises to be an epic encounter, and the power of football to unite and inspire.
