Dynamos Football Club have issued a strong condemnation of crowd violence and disturbances that marred their Matchday 14 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League fixture against HardRock FC at Chahwanda Stadium on Sunday, May 24, 2026, calling for peace and discipline across Zimbabwean football.
In a strongly worded official statement, the Glamour Boys described the scenes as completely unacceptable, reaffirming their zero-tolerance stance toward any conduct that endangers lives, disrupts matches or brings the game into disrepute.
"Football is a family sport, and stadiums across the country must remain safe, secure, and welcoming environments for players, officials, supporters, and all stakeholders," the club stated.
Dynamos confirmed they are fully cooperating with relevant authorities, football governing bodies and law enforcement agencies as investigations into the unfortunate incidents continue, pledging to ensure such scenes are never repeated.
The club also extended thoughts and well wishes to all those injured or affected by the disturbances, while urging both their own supporters and the broader football community to uphold peace, tolerance and discipline at all times.

Significantly, Dynamos announced they would make no further public comment on the matter, citing the need to allow investigations to proceed without interference, a measured and responsible position that underlines the seriousness with which the club is treating the incident.
The violence casts a dark shadow over what should have been a straightforward league fixture and will inevitably attract the attention of ZIFA and the Premier Soccer League's disciplinary structures.
Football deserves better, and Zimbabwe's game cannot afford scenes like these.
