Simba SC President Mohammed Dewji ‘Mo’ has promised the team’s players a TSh 200 million bonus if they beat Azam FC in today’s NBC Premier League clash, scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at Azam Complex.
The incentive is part of Simba’s efforts to motivate the players ahead of the highly anticipated Mzizima Derby, with Mo emphasizing the importance of securing victory and maintaining the team’s strong start to the season.
Mo told the players that the responsibility of the club’s leadership is to provide a good working environment and the necessary motivation, while their duty is to step onto the pitch, fight for the result and ensure Simba get the outcome they need.
Simba head into the match with a perfect record of five wins from their opening five league games, while Azam remain unbeaten at the start of the season. League figures show Simba have 15 points from five matches, while Azam have 14 points from six games.
The match represents another chapter in the rivalry between the two sides, with Simba having defeated Azam 1-0 in the CRDB Federation Cup final on July 4, 2026.
