ERSL board member Benjamin Chindima congratulated Triangle FC for securing promotion to the Premiership. Said Chindima (via The Manica Post):
Congratulations are in order for Triangle FC. As a region, we are very thrilled by the level of competition in the Eastern Region.
We are extremely proud of Triangle as our 2024 championship given the investment and dedication they put into football. It is evident today after their triumph.
As they have done before, we have no doubt that they will be good ambassadors of our Region when they partake in Premiership football.
FC Wangu Mazodze, who held the top spot for most of the season, secured a 3-2 victory over Surrey but was unable to reclaim the lead in the final standings.
Triangle FC joins ZPC Hwange (Southern Region), Kwekwe United (Central Region), and Scottland FC (Central Region) in earning promotion to the PSL.
