Simba striker Steven Mukwala has arrived in Zanzibar to join his teammates who are continuing with the Mapinduzi Cup tournament on the islands.
Today, Simba will take to the pitch at the New Amaan Complex to face Azam FC in the semifinal match.
Mukwala, who had been on national duty with the Uganda national team in Morocco for the AFCON 2025 tournament, may not be part of the matchday squad, but he could feature in the next game should Simba reach the final.
Additionally, other stars who were with the Taifa Stars are expected to return to the country today and may also be available for the next match if Simba progress.
Beyond the Mapinduzi Cup, Simba are also preparing for their CAF Champions League matches against Esperance, scheduled to be played on January 23 in Tunisia, with the return leg set for one week later in Dar es Salaam.
These fixtures could determine Simba’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League quarterfinals this season.
