Zimbabwe's 2023 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League Champions. Born from the mining heartland of Mhondoro Ngezi, playing with pride, purpose, and the backing of an entire community.
From the mine to the top of Zimbabwean football.
Ngezi Platinum Stars FC was born in 2001 from the mining communities of Mhondoro Ngezi, beginning as informal social football before growing into one of Zimbabwe's most celebrated football clubs. What started as Ngezi Sporto FC — a modest team organised around the local mine operations — has become a source of immense pride for an entire region.
The club entered competitive football in 2004 and spent over a decade climbing the divisions before earning promotion to the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League in 2016 — the same year they lifted the Cup of Zimbabwe and the Chibuku Super Cup. In 2023, they completed the journey, winning the Castle Lager PSL title for the first time, becoming the first team outside Harare and Bulawayo to be crowned champions of Zimbabwe.
Proudly sponsored by Glenrise Investments, Ngezi Platinum Stars represents more than a football club — it is a community institution, an employer, and a platform that amplifies the voice of Mhondoro Ngezi on the national and continental stage.
