Warriors Goalie Elvis Chipezeze Nominated For Two Awards in South Africa

Zimbabwe Warriors goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze is chasing major recognition in South African football after being nominated for the Betway Premiership Goalkeeper of the Season award.

The former Chicken Inn star, who captains Magesi FC, is competing against Orlando Pirates’ Sipho Chaine and Mamelodi Sundowns’ Ronwen Williams for the prestigious prize.

Stellar Season for Magesi FC Captain

Chipezeze delivered an outstanding season, impressing in both the league and cup competitions. His performances in the Carling Black Label Knockout Cup stood out, where he helped guide Magesi FC to glory.

The 35-year-old goalkeeper walked away with four Man of the Match awards throughout the season, including one in the Carling Knockout final, where Magesi stunned Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1.

Chipezeze’s consistency earned him a recall to the Zimbabwe national team. He featured in the Warriors’ friendly matches against Burkina Faso and Niger in Morocco in June, making a strong case for continued selection.

The Magesi FC skipper is also in the running for another major award — the Carling Knockout Player of the Tournament. He’s up against his teammate and fellow Zimbabwean Edmore Chirambadare, as well as Mamelodi Sundowns striker Iqraam Rayners.
