SuperSport to start broadcasting local football

All of the talk in sporting circles this week is focusing on this Sunday's game between Highlanders and Dynamos at Barbourfields Stadium. As well as being one of the most eagerly-anticipated contests of the season, it will also see SuperSport make history as it will be the first time that a Zimbabwean football match will be broadcast in High Definition .


While SuperSport has broadcast international cricket from Zimbabwe in HD, the “Battle of Zimbabwe” will make a fitting start to HD coverage of football in the country, using the state-of-the-art Outside Broadcast (OB) Van.

The game itself looks too close to call, with top-of-the-table Highlanders looking for a first win over Dynamos since 2007 but playing their best football of the season, with 10 goals in their last three matches. Dynamos know that a defeat will end their hopes of defending the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title, and they are known as a team that can produce results on the big day.
Catch the action live on SuperSport 1HD and Select from 14.55 CAT on Sunday.
