Fans of the women’s game last saw action on October 6, as the league took a hiatus to allow clubs to get funds from the sponsor for the remainder of the campaign.
Fixtures secretary Theresa Maguraushe confirmed to Standardsport the next round of fixtures will be out before the end of the week.
“Sponsors were sorting out some monetary issues with clubs going into the second half. Hopefully, all is done and dusted for us to get started again,” Maguraushe said.
Maguraushe expressed satisfaction with the level of football displayed so far and said the sponsorship had helped a lot in creating a competitive atmosphere in the league.
