Yesterday excitement started inside the Benjamin Mkapa stadium where preparations for the opening ceremony of the African Football League began
Mkapa Stadium has already been decorated for the historic event as special people to provide entertainment on Friday continue to train
This is it, on Friday the eyes of the world will be in Tanzania at the Benjamin Mkapa stadium to witness the opening ceremony of the AFL championship held for the first time in Africa
For those who don't know, this tournament is jointly organized by FIFA and CAF, which is why FIFA President Gianni Infantino will be among those who will be on the field on Friday along with CAF President Patrice Motsepe and senior officials of the federations
For sure, history is going to be written on Friday, Simba's success is the reason why this history is being written here in Tanzania
In this tournament there are teams from South Africa, Egypt and Morocco, countries that are believed to be far ahead of Tanzania in terms of the quality of infrastructure, especially the stadiums
But CAF chose to launch this tournament in Tanzania because they know Simba is one of the fastest growing clubs in African football. It is the club with the most fans here in Tanzania and sure to fill the stadium that holds 60,000 fans
On Friday, Simba will show them that they were not wrong to bring these celebrations to Tanzania!
