Chibuku Super Cup 2026 Quarter-Finals Set: Giants Collide as Cup Drama Heats Up

The Chibuku Super Cup 2026 is set to enter its most decisive phase yet, with the quarter-final fixtures officially confirmed and fans across Zimbabwe bracing for a fortnight of high-stakes knockout football.

Running from 04 August to 28 November 2026 under the banner “Handei Kubhora Gen’a | Asambeni Ebhoreni Majida”, the tournament promises drama, upsets, and the chance for silverware as eight teams battle to stay alive in Zimbabwe’s premier cup competition.

The quarter-finals will be spread across three matchdays, beginning on Saturday, 12 September 2026 when Harare giants CAPS United FC host ZPC Kariba FC at Rufaro Stadium. Kick-off is 15:00hrs. Makepekepe will be banking on home support to see off the “Electricity Men”, who have grown into a formidable cup side in recent seasons.

The action continues on Sunday, 13 September 2026 with a double-header, both slated for 15:00hrs. In the capital, 22-time league champions Dynamos FC welcome ambitious newcomers FC Hunters to Rufaro Stadium in what promises to be a clash of pedigree versus hunger.

Meanwhile in Bulawayo, Highlanders FC will look to use the famous atmosphere of Barbourfields Stadium to their advantage when they face the league’s surprise package, MWOS FC. Bosso and “The Punters” have both impressed domestically this year, setting up what could be the tie of the round.

The quarter-final lineup concludes on Wednesday, 16 September 2026 with a Harare showdown as Scottland FC take on Hardrock FC at Rufaro Stadium, also at 15:00hrs. Scottland, enjoying a strong second season in the top flight, will be keen to make a statement on the cup stage, while Hardrock will aim to extend their giant-killing run. Hardrock currently sits in second position on the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL) log standings, and their fine run is a testament to their determination and confirms that they are no pushovers.

With all matches scheduled for 15:00hrs, supporters are expected to throng the country’s major stadia as the road to the final, set for 28 November 2026, narrows. The Chibuku Super Cup, run in partnership with the Premier Soccer League, remains a key platform for clubs to salvage their season and for players to stake a claim for glory.

As the tournament slogan reminds fans, it is time to “Taste the Goodness” — and with these quarter-final pairings, the goodness is about to get a whole lot more intense.
