Finally July 25 has arrived for Citizens! The day most talked about by football fans in the Country has arrived!
It is the day of another historic match between the traditional hometowns rivals Yanga and Simba, now being played in Kigoma region
It is the final match of the Azam Federation Cup (ASFC) that is going down in the history of the oldest clubs in the Country
It's the second game between the two teams this month. July 03 was played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in a major league game and the Citizens left with a 1-0 victory extinguishing the ropes of their hometown Simba who believed it would be easy for them to leave with all three points in front of Yanga
It is the third match between the two teams this year, as it is recalled that in January they met in Zanzibar in the final match of the Revolutionary Cup where Citizens left with the trophy after emerging victorious through penalty kicks
Today Yanga are looking for their third consecutive victory against their hometown rivals this year. But today's victory will be even more important as in addition to the joy of tying the natives, they will leave with a trophy on the field
For Simba, they will try to push themselves in front of Yanga. Last season in the tournament, Simba won 4-1 in the semi-final match at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium
But today is another game, played in Kigoma, at the end of the railway
Kigoma city overflowing! Citizens from all corners of Tanzania are in Kigoma waiting for the roar that will happen at 4pm
It's another tough game in which 90 minutes will determine who will win the FA Cup
For Yanga it is important to win to end the season with a trophy. Despite winning the Revolutionary Cup, winning the FA is a great honor
The enthusiasm and morale of Coach Nasreddine Nabi's players is high, for them this is a battle they must win
They say they don't care if the goalkeeper dies, the defender dies, most important the beast must be slaughtered today with the Cup heading towards the Jangwani suburbs
It's 4pm at Lake Tangayika Stadium. All the best Citizens
