The NBC Premier League match between Azam FC and Simba will be played on Saturday, April 5, at the Azam Complex in Chamazi, it has been confirmed.
Azam FC, the hosts of the match, have chosen to use the Azam Complex despite the stadium’s relatively smaller seating capacity.
Initially, the match was expected to be played at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium, as was the case in the first-round encounter on December 7, 2025, where Simba lost 2-0.
Simba’s squad has already returned to training in preparation for this match and other upcoming league fixtures following the FIFA calendar break.
Before the Mzizima Derby, Simba will face Coastal Union in a match scheduled for April 2 at the Isamuhyo Stadium in Mbweni, Dar es Salaam.
In their pursuit of the Premier League title, Simba cannot afford to drop points, with their goal being to secure all three points in every match despite the strong competition in the league.
