Highlanders and Orlando Pirates both use the traditional black and white colours and the majority of football followers in Bulawayo support the two teams which play in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League and the Absa Premiership respectively.
The Buccaneers last visited Barbourfields Stadium last year when they played Zimbabwean champions FC Platinum in the CAF Champions league. A total of 23 164 fans attended the match.
