Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Aljazeera<\/b> – WITH organised football suspended in Zimbabwe due to the coronavirus pandemic, the country\u2019s long-suffering footballers have once again turned to \u201cmoney games\u201d to make ends meet.<\/p>\n

On average, a club player earns 5,000 Zimbabwean dollars a month ($50 officially but $16 on the black market). The salary is less in the lower divisions.<\/p>\n

With no international matches, these footballers have thus resorted to unsanctioned matches \u2013 deemed illegal by their own clubs \u2013 which are also prohibited under the government\u2019s lockdown rules.<\/p>\n

Normally, crowds would play a huge role in these cross-township football rivalries in Zimbabwe\u2019s capital, Harare. Up to 5,000 spectators jostling for a glimpse of the end-to-end action from the pitch side could be seen at a high-profile game.<\/p>\n

However, since the coronavirus outbreak, big crowds would attract unwanted attention from the army and police officers.<\/p>\n

As a result, these matches now start as early as 8am local time (06:00 GMT) to avoid high spectator numbers.<\/p>\n

\u2018Broke and struggling\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMoney games\u201d have been played in Zimbabwe for years where, during the off-season, some of the country\u2019s best top-flight league players appear in a desperate attempt to supplement their meagre income.<\/p>\n

The prize-money, in most cases, comes from local football enthusiasts who have the cash to spare.<\/p>\n

The \u201csponsors\u201d, on both sides, put forward $200 each with the sum shared by the winning squad. In the case of a draw, sides share $100 each, with the sponsors keeping the rest.<\/p>\n

But now, the matches are witnessing a surge in high-profile players who are left out of pocket with sanctioned football currently suspended and most top-flight clubs failing to pay players during the forced break.<\/p>\n

These players put themselves at risk of career-threatening injuries given the substandard pitches they play these matches on.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team went quiet on us since the lockdown started in March 2020 and we haven\u2019t been paid a cent,\u201d Malvern Chiketa, who plays for second-tier club Eiffel Flats, told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n

\u201cI play these money games to earn some money and also to keep fit for next season.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Eiffel Flats official, who asked to remain anonymous, said the club was \u201cbroke and struggling\u201d and unable to pay salaries.<\/p>\n

Midfielder Tendai Huwa, whose contract with top-flight club Triangle FC expired in December 2019 and was not renewed due to the uncertainty, featured in one of the games.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m stone broke,\u201d Huwa told Al Jazeera. \u201cI was unable to buy my family any groceries for Christmas so I have to play here. If we don\u2019t play football, we don\u2019t get paid.\u201d<\/p>\n

Covid-19 restrictions<\/b><\/p>\n

Zimbabwe has reported more than 27,000 cases of the coronavirus with 713 deaths, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University.<\/p>\n

A nationwide curfew, ban on gatherings and closure of non-essential businesses for a month was announced earlier this month.<\/p>\n

As a result, police and security officials have increasingly been cracking down on these matches.<\/p>\n

On Christmas Eve, baton-wielding police officials and soldiers forcibly dispersed players and crowds at a dusty football pitch in Glen Norah, a populous township in Harare, ahead of a series of matches between old rivals from the suburbs of Glen Norah and Highfields.<\/p>\n

The show of force has not resulted in the games being stopped, mostly due to the financial burden the payers are under.<\/p>\n

Before the coronavirus pandemic, most of Zimbabwe\u2019s football clubs were already financially stretched.<\/p>\n

League officials said the country could not afford the bio-secure technology required for football to be played thus leading to last season being abandoned with hopes of a resumption in sporting activities dashed by the January 5 lockdown that is in place for another month.<\/p>\n

With the restrictions unlikely to be fully relaxed anytime soon, the 2021 season, whenever it kicks off, is likely to see empty stands, a difficult situation because nearly all the clubs in the county depend on gate revenue for survival.<\/p>\n

The cheapest ticket costs as little as $1 and the biggest teams \u2013 Dynamos, Highlanders and CAPS United \u2013 can attract some 25,000 fans.<\/p>\n

\u2018At least it\u2019s something\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

On the dusty fields, for as little as a $400 \u201cwinner-takes-all\u201d prize money, players send tackles flying and many try and survive the test for a share of the much-needed cash.<\/p>\n

Matches have continued to be played during the lockdown. Crowds gather without social distancing and masks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m aspiring to become a FIFA-licensed player agent so I put my money into these games because I want these gifted young footballers to be under my wings when I finally qualify,\u201d a sponsor, who is a well-known second-hand clothing trader, told Al Jazeera on condition of anonymity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give them these games as incentive and to keep them close to me as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Normally, a player would hope to earn at least $10 if his side wins. In some cases, the sponsors pay more to the big-name players without their teammates knowing.<\/p>\n

The spectators also get involved, placing bets on their favourite local teams and players.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been putting my money on (name withheld). He scores for fun,\u201d Glen Norah, a resident of Munya Chikerema, who travelled more than 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) to Mbare, told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n

Vernon Mhlanga, a 55-year-old Mbare resident and a die-hard fan of the Dynamos \u2013 Zimbabwe\u2019s biggest and most successful club \u2013 said he was \u201cdepressed\u201d to miss top-flight action this year and now takes solace from the \u201cmoney games\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time in 30 years that a whole year will pass without me going to the stadium to watch the Dynamos,\u201d Mhlanga told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n

\u201cDynamos means the world to me. This great club has its roots here in Mbare so it means a lot to this community. The lack of league football this year depresses me a lot. That\u2019s why I come to watch these games because at least I get to watch some of the youngsters from the big clubs. It\u2019s not the real thing, but at least it\u2019s something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans, players and officials all agree these are uncertain times with more of the same to follow. But Zimbabwe\u2019s Premier Soccer League (PSL) is optimistic about the return of top-flight football this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever it takes, we will begin the new season in March, even if it means getting a vaccine,\u201d said Kennedy Ndebele, PSL chief executive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to get permission from the ministry of health and the ministry of sports. We are currently putting together a proposal. The likeliest scenario is that we will resume in March, with matches being played behind closed doors.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is also the question of revenue and how the clubs will make ends meet without the supporters in the stands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking at measures to make sure all clubs remain afloat,\u201d added Ndebele.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
