After a break of more than one month, Simba’s squad returns to the hustle and bustle of the NBC Premier League today with a match against Mtibwa Sugar.
This will be Simba’s first league match of the year 2026 and also the first competitive game under head coach Steve Barker.
The Msimbazi Reds head into this match carrying the memory of losing their previous league fixture against Azam FC.
As a result, it is a match in which Simba fans are expecting only one outcome: victory for their team.
Simba’s Information and Communications Manager, Ahmed Ali, has urged the club’s supporters to turn out in large numbers at Major General Isamuhyo Stadium to support their team, assuring them of entertaining football accompanied by a win for the Msimbazi Reds.
Simba will use the match against Mtibwa Sugar as part of their preparations for their CAF Champions League encounter against Esperance, scheduled to be played on January 24 in Tunisia.
