The first Mapinduzi Cup semifinal match between Simba and Azam FC will be played on Thursday, January 8, at the New Amaan Complex Stadium.
This match presents a chance for revenge for Simba after losing their recent NBC Premier League encounter against Azam FC last month at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
It is one step away from the final, with Simba head coach Steve Barker eager to win the match and guide his side into the final.
Barker has been using the Mapinduzi Cup to assess his squad, but he has made it clear that he is keen to see the trophy head to Msimbazi.
If Simba qualify for the final, they could face their rivals Yanga, who will complete their group-stage match today and, if they advance, will play Singida Black Stars in the semifinals.
