Zambian Charity Shield

The Zambian Charity Shield officially called Samuel ‘Zoom’ Ndhlovu Charity Shield[1] since 2003 is a season opener match between the champions of the previous Super League season and the holders of the ABSA Cup. If the Super League champions also won the ABSA Cup then the league runners-up provide the opposition. The fixture was first played in the 1967 season. The current holders are Zesco United, who defeated Lusaka Dynamos 4-0 in the 2021 match.[2]
