DYNAMOS set an early marker of their intentions ahead of the first domestic football season in almost two years after comfortably defeating fierce rivals Highlanders in the Independence Cup final at the National Sports Stadium.
The Uhuru Cup encounter was the first domestic football match played in the country since the Castle Challenge Cup match between Highlanders and FC Platinum in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
DeMbare got off to the ideal start against their perennial rivals after taking the lead courtesy of a long-range strike by Trevor Mavhunga barely six minutes into the encounter.

And, young goalkeeper, Mapisa, is among the players in this squad.
There were fears that, just like the other Euro-based players, he might not make it for these two make-or-break ties, due to travel restrictions, imposed by a number of countries. The Covid-19 restrictions have also seen some European clubs barring players from travelling for international duty.
