Scotland FC, a burgeoning force in Zimbabwean football, has won over the hearts of Bulawayo residents.
“I never thought I’d fall in love with a Harare team, but Scotland FC’s passion and skill have me hooked,” said Bulawayo resident, Emelda Ncube.
“Their style of doing business is infectious.”
Ncube isn’t alone. Many Bulawayo locals have pledged allegiance to Scotland FC, drawn by the team’s exciting performances.
“Scotland FC’s dedication to developing a national support base resonates with me,” said Thabani Nyathi, a Bulawayo-based businessman.
“They’re building a legacy, and I’m proud to support them.”
For some, Scotland FC’s appeal transcends football.
“Scotland FC’s owner, Scott Sakupwanya represents hope and unity for Zimbabweans,” said Bulawayo resident, Sithandekile Moyo.
“His personal success inspires us to strive for greatness.”
The club’s leadership welcomes the growing support.
“We’re thrilled to have Bulawayo on board,” said a club official who asked not to be named.
“Our goal is to make Scotland FC a national brand, uniting Zimbabwean football fans.”
Scotland FC’s on-field success has fueled the growth, with the team challenging for top spots in the Zifa Northern Region League. The club is currently barn storming the second tier league and is on the process of establishing a strong youth development program.
Sources close to the club say Sakupwanya aims to promote Scotland FC to the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League in its debut season in Division One.
“Scotland FC is more than a team – it’s a symbol of Zimbabwean pride,” said Bulawayo supporter, Nqobizitha Ncube.
As Scotland FC’s popularity grows, will they become a dominant force in Zimbabwean football?
