The 2023 Zambian Charity Shield (also known as The 2023 Samuel ‘Zoom’ Ndhlovu Carling Black Label Charity Shield for sponsorship reasons)[1][2] was the 58th Charity Shield match, an annual football match played between the winners of the previous season's Super League and the ABSA Cup winners. The Charity Shield match acts as the dress rehearsal for the Super League season.[2] The match was played by Power Dynamos the league champions of the 2022/23 season and Forest Rangers winners of the 2023 ABSA Cup tournament.[3] The match began with an early breakthrough as Andy Boyeli of Power Dynamos netted a goal in the 14th minute, setting an energetic tempo. Forest Rangers won the match as they mounted an impressive comeback with their direct style of play. Despite Boyeli's initial goal for Aba Yellow, Forest Rangers responded with goals from Libamba, Simusokwe, and Chishimba, clinching a 3-1 victory.[4]
