NB: originally 5 teams were to be relegated and 3 promoted, in order to reduce league to 12 clubs, but on August 23 the ZIFA decided to only relegate 3 clubs instead. However, on August 28, a High Court ruling re-instated Zimbabwe Saints for the 2004 season following their complaint on their relegation 2002; as they did not enter any of the three division one leagues (whose champions are automatically promoted), ZIFA are planning to have a 16-team league in 2004, with 3 teams going down and 5 coming up: Zimbabwe Saints, the 3 Division One group winners and the winners of a play-off between the 3 runners-up in Division One.
