Football fans gathered at Dzivarasekwa Stadium this past Sunday for a special four-team tournament held in honour of former Dynamos striker Norman Maroto, who left an enduring legacy both on and off the field.

The Norman Maroto Legends Cup brought together former football professionals, local talent, and emerging stars, showcasing a blend of skill, sportsmanship, and respect for the game.

“This tournament goes beyond just playing football. It’s a celebration of Norman Maroto’s remarkable career and a reminder of football’s power to inspire and unite people. We wanted to come together this holiday season to support his family and honour his memory,” said organiser Nkululeko Dhlamini.

Paul Muuya, a spokesperson for the Maroto family, expressed gratitude: “The family is deeply moved by the overwhelming support. It’s a great privilege to witness the football community come together to recognise my father’s contributions to Zimbabwean football and demonstrate that unity is strength.”

The matches were played in the true spirit of friendly competition, reflecting the event’s focus on unity while paying tribute to a legendary goal-scorer and sports icon who left an unforgettable legacy in local football.
