An officially licensed Highlanders FC feature film, produced by Ya-Sibo Media (Private) Limited, trading as Junza Studios, in co-production with the club — with rights to its name, crest, colours, and history. A limited number of companies are being invited to join as founding commercial partners ahead of principal photography.
Direct association with one of Zimbabwe's most recognised sporting institutions, at a significant moment in the club's history.
Reach across cinema-style premieres, national broadcast, and digital/streaming distribution.
Access to Highlanders' national and diaspora supporter base — South Africa, the UK, Botswana, Australia, and beyond.
A limited number of partner slots per category, so no partner's association is diluted by a direct competitor.
