Northern Region Division One League outfit and moneybags Scottland Football Club’s players could receive an early Christmas present this season. The excitement is palpable following a generous promise from the club’s gold dealer owner, Scott Sakupwanya, who has pledged a hefty US$10,000 allowance for each player if they manage to topple log leaders Mwos and secure promotion to the Premier Soccer League.
Addressing the players after Monday’s training session ahead of their crucial clash against DZ Royals, the Mabvuku-Tafara legislator made his intentions clear. “I’m pledging US$10,000 for each player if we (Scottland) make it to the Premier Soccer League,” he declared. This ambitious promise not only motivates the players but also signifies the high stakes involved in their quest for top-flight football.
In addition to the tantalizing US$10,000 bonus, Scott Sakupwanya has set up an incentive structure aimed at further motivating his squad. Each player will earn an extra US$200 for every goal scored in the remaining four matches of the season. This financial reward serves as a strong motivator, pushing players to showcase their skills and contribute to the team’s scoring efforts.
Moreover, Scott Sakupwanya has promised US$1,500 for each player if any of the remaining matches end with a scoreline of five goals or more in favor of Scottland. Such incentives not only raise the stakes for individual players but also encourage a more attacking style of play, creating an atmosphere of excitement for fans and players alike.
These lucrative incentives are set to come into play starting with Scottland’s upcoming match against DZ Royals at Rufaro Stadium. This match is particularly crucial as Scottland sits in second place on the log table, just three points behind the current leaders, Mwos, who are in formidable form and determined to secure promotion themselves.
However, a twist in the league dynamics could benefit Scottland. Recently, the league controversially awarded them three points and three goals for an abandoned match against Karoi United in September. This decision means Scottland could potentially level on points with Mwos if they achieve positive results in their remaining fixtures. The stage is set for an exciting finish to the season. Both Scottland and Mwos have four challenging matches ahead, each crucial in their bid for promotion.
Scottland’s Last Four Games:
1. DZ Royal Stars (Away) – October 23-24
2. Harare City (Away) – October 26-27
3. Herentals U20 (Home) – November 2-3
4. Black Mambas (Home) – November 9-10
Mwos’ Last Four Games:
1. Black Mambas (Away) – October 23-24
2. CC Mhangura (Home) – October 26-27
3. Norton Community (Home) – November 2-3
4. Agama (Home) – November 9-10
Both teams face stiff competition, making every match a high-stakes affair. Scottland’s path to promotion will require not just skill but also mental resilience as they navigate through these decisive encounters. As they prepare for the match against DZ Royals, the players are focused on delivering their best performance. The prospect of a US$10,000 bonus looms large, adding a layer of urgency to their training and preparation. The players understand that their hard work and dedication in these final matches could pay off significantly, not just in terms of financial rewards but also in achieving their dreams of competing at the highest level.
As the season nears its conclusion, the excitement surrounding Scottland Football Club is palpable. With the prospect of an early Christmas bonus and a shot at Premier Soccer League promotion, the players are poised to give their all on the pitch. The stakes have never been higher, and every goal, every match, and every moment will count in this thrilling race for promotion.
Fans will be eagerly watching as Scottland seeks to make a statement against DZ Royals and continue their pursuit of glory in the Northern Region Division One League. With the right mix of talent, motivation, and perhaps a bit of festive cheer, Scottland could be well on their way to achieving their lofty goals.
