Defending champions Yanga SC will today take to the pitch at KMC Complex to face TMA Stars in a CRDB Federation Cup Round of 16 clash, with kickoff scheduled for 12:30 PM East African Time.
Yanga head into the match carrying an extraordinary record in the competition sponsored by CRDB Bank.
The last time Yanga lost a match in the Tanzanian Federation Cup was on July 26, 2021, in the final against Simba SC at Lake Tanganyika Stadium in Kigoma, where Simba won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Taddeo Lwanga in the 79th minute to clinch the title.
Since that match, Yanga have not lost a single game in the competition, a run that now spans 1,721 days — equivalent to 245 weeks and 6 days.
This translates to 4 years, 8 months, and 17 days, or a total of 41,304 hours of dominance in the tournament.
Today, Wananchi will be aiming to secure a quarter-final spot against TMA Stars, a team that may appear underdogs but did not reach the Round of 16 by chance.
Will Yanga extend their dominance, or could there be a major upset?
