Simba will roll the dice today in their opening match of the Mapinduzi Cup tournament in Zanzibar, taking on Muembe Makumbi in a game scheduled to kick off at 8:15 PM.
Simba head coach Steve Barker has made it clear that his objective is to lead the team to lifting the trophy, meaning Simba fans should expect a highly competitive display with no match taken lightly.
Barker is also using the tournament to assess his squad, giving players an opportunity to prove they deserve to remain at Msimbazi.
Simba had been in the process of releasing some players based on a report from the previous coach, but Barker halted those plans and traveled with the players to Zanzibar.
Simba need to finish top of Group C in order to qualify for the semifinals.
