Bosso celebrate 90th anniversary

THE country’s oldest football club, Highlanders, commemorates its 90th anniversary next month with a series of events lined up to spice the occasion.

The 90th anniversary celebrations will be launched on February 28 and Bosso has approached Bulawayo City Council seeking permission to use the tennis courts outside Barbourfields Stadium as a venue for the celebrations, which will stretch to the end of the year on December 11.

Bosso was founded in 1926 by King Lobengula’s grandsons, Albert and Rhodes, as Lions Football Club, and assumed the name Highlanders in 1936 as Matabeleland Highlanders Football Club.
