Yanga Information Officer Hassan Bumbuli said that the historic champions have never relied on support from any team to get a chance to take part in the CAF competitions
Bumbuli said last season Yanga got a chance to participate in the Champions League from their sweat and they will do so this season
"We have never relied on other team's performance, Last season we got a chance from our sweat and this season we will get a chance from our sweat as well, that's why you see us at the top of the league standings"
"Congratulations to Simba for successfully reaching the quarter-finals of the Confederations Cup and wish them all the best but their success has no effect on us"
"Even if they would have got eliminated early, it would have no effect on us as what we are looking at is our goal, we need to win the Premier League title this season so that we can participate in the Champions League next season," said Bumbuli.
Tanzania is one of 12 nations that will be represented by four teams in the CAF competitions next season
It is due to the number of points that Tanzania has collected in the last five years, with Simba contributing a large percentage after reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League twice and the Confederations Cup
Yanga and Namungo Fc also contributed to the scores as they played the group stage of the Confederation Cup Yanga playing twice in the 2016/17 and 2018/19 seasons while Namungo played in the 2020/21 season
