Sakunda Holdings says it is not bankrolling the planned Unity Cup match between Highlanders and Dynamos scheduled for 22 December 2022, contrary to media reports.
Dynamos and Highlanders, who are both sponsored by the energy firm, are set to clash at Babourfields Stadium as Zimbabwe commemorates Unity Day on Thursday.
Reports had suggested that Sakunda was sponsoring the match, but the company has distanced itself from the claims.
A Sakunda official who declined to be named told Soccer24 that the company “never” said they will sponsor the match. Said the official:
We are not sponsoring that game, we never said we would. The claim that we are sponsoring it is just an agenda to entice us into doing so.
Meanwhile, both Dynamos and Highlanders are reportedly training in preparation for the match. | Soccer24
