Battle of Zimbabwe looms as Glamour Boys return to training

Soccer fans can look forward to an epic struggle for supremacy when Dynamos hosts Highlanders at Rufaro this Sunday as a threatened boycott has been averted.

The simmering discontent within the Dynamos camp has been extinguished, with players returning to training after a brief but impactful strike.

Unpaid winning bonuses had thrown a wrench into their preparations, but a swift resolution has brought a sigh of relief to both the team and their fans.

"We've addressed the issue of bonuses," declared Dynamos Marketing Manager David Chikomo, his voice a beacon of hope for the eager fans. "By this afternoon, everyone should have received their payments," he confirmed to Zim Now Sports.

This positive development paves the way for a highly anticipated encounter against arch-rivals Highlanders this Sunday. The prospect of facing their bitter adversaries is always a motivator, but with the bonus concerns settled, the Dynamos camp now crackles with an extra dose of determination.

For every victory, a De Mbare player receives a USD$100 bonus, a significant financial pat on the back. However, when a determined defensive stand secures a draw, the reward is a respectable USD$50.

The stakes get even higher when the Glamour Boys lock horns with giants like Highlanders, FC Platinum, Caps United, Ngezi Platinum,Chicken Inn, and Manica Diamonds. These high-profile matches see both win and draw bonuses doubled, adding an extra layer of incentive for the players to bring their A-game against these fierce competitors.

Dynamos has won five games and a staggering nine draws. Interestingly, two of those draws came against heavyweights like Ngezi Platinum,Chicken Inn and Manica Diamonds, matches that would have seen the players pocket double the usual bonus amount.

Taking this into account, a player who participated in all 17 games stands to earn a cool USD$1,050
