Golden Footprints: The Countdown
As the countdown to the 2026 Golden Footprints Soccer Awards continues, the goals contests continue till late. There is still a lot of action to see before the Top Goalscorer and Best Goalkeeper categories are decided.
The Best Player category has been done, with the league’s coaches having been polled. The polled coaches, who are automatic guests to the 18 December event, are also the pool from which the Coach of the Year has been decided, as at the 31 October cutoff.
Kadhija Issah (Better XI Academy) leads the goalscorers on 11, ahead of Shyline Muzamhindo (CUT Flames) and Keisha Lucius (Barca Kadoma Queens) on 10 each. Thelma Ngirazi (8) and Sifikile Sibanda (5) complete the top five - the latter three all from log leaders Barca Kadoma Queens.
Panashe Kupara (Better XI Academy) tops the clean-sheet chart on 6, followed by Shumirai Mubatsa (CUT Flames) on 5, with Ella Rwodzi (Bright Stars Soccer Academy) and Tawana Buleya (Somerby Lions) on 2 each.
