In a heartwarming display of camaraderie, Highlanders FC (Bosso) and Scottland FC have shown that even the most unlikely of friendships can flourish in the cutthroat world of Zimbabwean football.
As Scottland FC prepares to make its debut in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) next season, owner Scott Sakupwanya has been singing the praises of Bosso, a club that has been a mainstay of Bulawayo and Zimbabwean football for decades.
“We’re looking forward to playing against Bosso at Barbourfields Stadium next season,” Sakupwanya said in an exclusive interview.
“It’s going to be a tough match, but we’re excited about the challenge. We know that Bosso has a rich history and a passionate fan base, and we’re looking forward to testing ourselves against them.”
But Sakupwanya’s admiration for Bosso goes beyond just a desire to compete against them on the pitch. He also sees opportunities for synergy between the two clubs, and is committed to continuing to sponsor Bosso next season.
“We believe that there are opportunities for us to work together with Bosso to promote football development in Zimbabwe,” Sakupwanya said.
“We’re committed to supporting Bosso next season, and we’re looking forward to exploring ways in which we can work together to grow the game in Zimbabwe.”
But perhaps the most surprising aspect of Sakupwanya’s comments was his desire for Bosso fans to support Scottland FC in their debut PSL season.
“We know that Bosso has a massive following, and we’re hoping that their fans will have our back when we’re playing against other teams in the league,” Sakupwanya said.
“We believe that together, we can achieve great things, and we’re looking forward to building a strong relationship with Bosso and their fans.”
It’s a sentiment that is unlikely to go unnoticed by Bosso fans, who have traditionally been known for their fierce loyalty and dedication to their team. But as Sakupwanya’s comments show, even the most unlikely of friendships can flourish in the world of football.
