Zimbabwean rugby is entering an exciting new chapter with the launch of the Sable Lager Grid Cup, a dynamic franchise-style tournament that is reshaping the domestic game while delivering top-tier entertainment for fans.
Officially unveiled on 25 October 2025 at Harare Sports Club, the competition features four high-energy sides — the Ngunis, Valley Blades, Sun Rays, and the Impis — each captained by seasoned Sables national team players. The result has been fast-paced, explosive rugby that has quickly captured the attention of fans and stakeholders across the country.
Sable Lager’s Vision for the Game
As the title sponsor, Sable Lager says the tournament reflects its commitment to elevating Zimbabwean rugby and strengthening pathways into elite competition.
The sponsorship aims to:
Deepen rugby partnerships — building on Sable Lager’s existing support for the national team and the domestic league as players gear up for the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
Enhance matchday experiences — with vibrant fan zones, music, entertainment and digital engagement aligned to the brand’s youthful appeal.
Spotlight new heroes — giving emerging players national exposure and creating fresh role models for Zimbabwe’s sporting community.
Expand rugby’s reach — through a broadcast collaboration with Capitalk and Wiremit, ensuring fans across the country can follow every try, tackle, and turnover.
