Sydney Zambezi Football Alliance (SYZA)

The ZimPride Soccer Tournament, held over the weekend of Saturday, 19th April, and Sunday, 20th April, was a resounding success. Saturday’s matches lit up Strathfield Park, while Sunday’s festivities brought vibrant energy to the Jensen Park 1 Stadium. The atmosphere was electric, with delicious food stalls, refreshing drinks, lively music and DJ sets, a jumping castle for kids, and a variety of wares on sale. Zimbabweans from all walks of life—young and old—came together to celebrate, reconnect, and enjoy each other’s company.

Sydney took home the Masters Cup, while Melbourne emerged victorious in the ZimPride Tournament, clinching the win in a thrilling penalty shootout. The event was made even more special by the presence of Zimbabwe’s Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Australia and New Zealand, Joe Tapera Mhishi, who graced the occasion, and a representative from WorldRemit, who paid a courtesy visit. It was truly a memorable weekend filled with laughter, culture, and community spirit.
