The winning team will receive a US$30 000 bonus, which will be shared equally among the players.
The losing finalists will get US$9 000, while the remaining balance will cover individual prizes.
The individual prices include the Man of the Match, Top Goal Scorer and the Best Goalkeeper (for keeping a clean sheet) as well as bonuses for coaches.
DeMbare and Bosso have featured in the previous two finals of the invitational tournament.
The Harare-based side won the trophy in 2021 when football returned for the first time following a one-year suspension because of the novel coronavirus.
They beat Highlanders 2-0 at the National Sports Stadium, with Trevor Mavhunga scoring the opener before Peter Muduhwa’s second-half own-goal.
There was no Independence Day Cup match in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2019, the Bulawayo giants won it, also by a 2-0 margin. Bhukhosi Sibanda and Tinashe Makanda both netted in the second half.
