MUTARE- The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA), Eastern Region Division 1 soccer League (ERSL), is taking a two-week break. This is to give clubs time to refresh during the impending national holiday.

“The league is taking a two-week break starting this weekend. The break will give our clubs time to rest during the Heroes holiday. We will resume our league on August 20,” said Simba.
