This evening the eyes and ears of Tanzanians will be directed to the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium to witness the Citizens playing in the final of the CAF Confederation Cup against USM Alger
It is a first leg game that will be played at 4 pm while the second final will be played in Algeria next Friday
It is a historic match for Yanga and Tanzania because this is the first time the final match of the CAF competition is played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium
In 1993, Simba played in the final of the Winners Cup (Mashoud Abiola Cup) against Stella Abidjan, played at Uhuru Stadium (Shamba la Bibi), so today history will be written at Mkapa Stadium for the final match of the Confederation Cup (CAF CC)
A rare opportunity for fans to witness the historic game, it is clear that all 60,000 seats will be full as all the tickets for the game have been sold
Yanga is looking for the first big title in Africa, today they needs to win to put themselves in a good position to finish the job away in the second game
Yanga has received good preparation, coach Nasreddine Nabi, the players have talked about how ready they are for the game
There is no doubt that the support of the fans will be great, but it is important that the citizens should cheer for the entire duration of the game to ensure that the morale of their players does not drop
The Yanga players need to score early in order to disrupt the tactics of their opponents, who it is known that the tactics they will use more today is to play cautiously and waste time
Fouls and corners should be controlled well because that will be USM Alger's biggest weapon in the game, despite their coach claiming they did not come to Tanzania to pack the bus
This is a historic day for Yanga and the country as a whole, the hope is to see Yanga emerging with a great victory today
Good luck Yanga, good luck Citizens, Good luck National Champions...!
