Dynamos will begin their bid for a historic fourth consecutive Chibuku Super Cup title against either TelOne or Triangle, following the first-round draw in Harare this afternoon.
The record winners face the winner of tomorrow's preliminary clash over the weekend of August 15 and 16, as they look to extend their extraordinary dominance in this knockout tournament.
The draw delivered a series of high-profile fixtures, setting the stage for a fiercely competitive tournament.

In other preliminary action, Manica Diamonds will face Agama, with the victor advancing to meet MWOS in the next phase. In accordance with tournament regulations, the top eight teams on the league standings following matchday 17 were seeded for the draw and have secured home advantage for the opening round.
