Herentals Queens secured the 2025 championship title after an impressive campaign defined by consistency, tactical maturity and a strong team culture.

Working together, we are building a stronger and more inclusive football environment that inspires young girls across the country.”

ZWPSL Chairperson Chido Chizondo echoed these sentiments, commending Herentals Queens for their outstanding campaign. “This season has been one of the most exciting we have seen in recent years. Herentals Queens worked incredibly hard, and their success is a reflection of their commitment on and off the pitch. As the ZWPSL, we are proud of how the league continues to evolve, and we are grateful for the support and collaboration we receive from ZIFA as we strive to elevate women’s football to even greater heights,” she said.

Chizondo further highlighted the importance of continued investment in the women’s game. “We are seeing more talent, more competitiveness, and more ambition from our players and clubs. With the right structures and sustained support, the sky is truly the limit for women’s football in Zimbabwe.”

The ceremony not only celebrated Herentals Queens but also reinforced the collective vision shared by ZIFA and the ZWPSL: to grow the women’s game, empower athletes, and build a football landscape that leaves no one behind.
