If you love Tanzanian football, you’ve probably heard the name Simba SC a lot. The club sits at the heart of the Tanzanian Premier League and draws fans from every corner of the country. Here’s what’s happening right now – from match results to player moves and what to expect next season.
Simba SC kicked off the last round with a 2-1 win over Young Africans (Yanga). The winning goal came in the 78th minute from striker John Bocco, who’s quickly becoming a fan favorite. The victory pushed Simba to second place, just two points behind league leaders. If they can keep this momentum, a title challenge looks realistic.
Last weekend’s friendly against Kenya’s Gor Mahia ended in a 0-0 draw. While a goalless draw might not sound thrilling, the coach used the match to test a new 4-3-3 formation. Young midfielder Salim Maulidi shone, showing the kind of versatility the team needs for the run‑in.
The transfer window is heating up, and Simba SC is no exception. Reports suggest they’re eyeing a loan move for Ghanaian winger Kofi Owusu from Accra Hearts. Owusu’s pace could give the team the extra edge on the wing, especially against defensive‑tight sides.
On the flip side, veteran defender Haji Mussa is rumored to be leaving for a coaching role in Zanzibar. If that happens, Simba will need to promote from within or find a cheap replacement. Luckily, youngster Edward Ndlovu has already shown promise in the reserve league.
Don’t forget the off‑field news – the club announced a new partnership with a local telecom company. The deal will fund youth academy upgrades, meaning the next generation of Simba stars could get better facilities and training.
Overall, Simba SC’s season is shaping up to be one of “keep your eyes peeled.” Whether you’re a die‑hard fan or just curious about African football, these updates give you a clear picture of where the club stands.
