Kwekwe United is a professional football club from Kwekwe that competes in the Zimbabwe Premier Soccer League.

The club gained promotion to the top tier under manager Prince Matore [3] by winning the Central Region in 2024, becoming the first team from Kwekwe in the top tier since Lancashire Steel in 2008. [4]

In their first season back in the PSL, the club experienced financial difficulties, failing to meet a fixture against Herentals after the players went on strike due to unpaid salaries. [2] [5] The club forfeited the game 3-0 and was fined US$3500. As of May 2025, owner Phil Makekera admitted that the club still owed signing on fees for many of the thirty new players signed for the new season. [6]

Kwekwe eventually finished in last position, 25 points behind the second-last team. [7]
