Bosso chief executive officer, Ndumiso Gumede said the club would participate in the tournament, which forms part of their pre-season preparations.
“We have confirmed to the organisers that we will participate, but we have also requested that we play two matches as we want to take the reserve side as well,” he said. Highlanders will be taking the senior team to Gwanda as part of their pre-season preparations.
Bosso are still under the guidance of Amini Soma-Phiri, as the long wait for Dutchman Elroy Akby to get his papers in order, continues.
Some of the players that are expected to play in the match include Ariel Sibanda, Njabulo Nyoni, Eric Mudzingwa, Felix Chindungwe, King Nadolo, Simon Munawa, Bruce Kangwa, Gabriel Nyoni and Godfrey Makaruse, among others.

Mseva said the main game at the weekend pits Highlanders and a Gwanda select side, but prior to that the Bosso reserve side would play Vumba while Gwanda United would take on ZRP Gwanda.
Mseva said they would be charging $2 for adults, $1 for children, and $4 for VIP, while parking inside the stadium perimeter has been pegged at $3.
