HBA had been scheduled to start in the first weekend of this month, but was delayed because of a stand-off among clubs over affiliation fees.
HBA president Sunny Mbofana admitted that last season they faced a number of challenges.
“We had challenges the previous season and I am very optimistic the season before us is different and exciting.
There is potential in this league and with a unity of purpose, I see the league becoming even bigger,” he said.
An exciting season is expected after clubs assembled strong sides.
Black Rhinos are the new comers to the Men’s A League, which features 12 teams that include Cameo, Raiderz and Harare City Hornets.
