Simba SC’s Communications Manager, Ahmed Ali, says the pain of losing a second consecutive CAF Champions League group-stage match is intense, but there is no option other than to keep fighting until the end.
Ahmed emphasized that Simba has a history of overcoming moments like these, so fans should not lose hope. Through his social media page, he shared the following message:
“There is a reason our eyes were not placed at the back of our heads—so that we don’t spend time looking behind, but instead focus on what is ahead.”
“We have lost our second group-stage match. It is very painful. Many things will be said, and our rivals will pretend to share information aimed at provoking us. But every Simba fan should know that these are simply football phases, and soon we will reclaim our throne.”
“To rise from this situation, we don’t need an example from anywhere else. We only have to look at ourselves—two years ago we lost our first two group matches, yet we stood firm and reached the quarterfinals.”
“We are a big club; we know how to handle such moments, and we know exactly where we are heading.”
“My apologies to all Simba fans. Do not lose hope or be discouraged. This battle is still far from over, and we can handle it.”
“Our Simba is not dead—he is only injured. But he is still alive and capable of fighting.”
