Last year’s edition was contested by Highlanders and Dynamos over two legs with the Harare giants winning 6-1 on aggregate.

Tournament spokesperson Charles Mabika said they added the third team to make the tourney more exciting.

In 2012, four teams participated with FC Platinum eventually winning the Cup, played to celebrate President Robert Mugabe’s birthday.

Mugabe is turning 90 on February 21.

Mabika confirmed the three teams that would compete this year, but refused to divulge the format that would be used.

He said all the other details relating to the tournament would be spelt out at a Press conference scheduled for this morning.

“We have moved away from last year’s two-team format and three teams would be involved this year. We think by involving the three leading teams from last season will suit the occasion we will be celebrating.

“The president reaching 90 years is a milestone achievement which needs a befitting celebration so we want to make this year’s tournament much bigger and more exciting,” Mabika said.

He did not give the actual dates when the tournament would kick off, but said the launch will be on later this month with the matches expected to start early next month.

The prize money would be announced at a Press conference.

Dynamos received $110 000 for winning the Cup last year while Highlanders received $70 000, which they used to buy another team bus.
