Yanga's captain, Bakari Mwamnyeto has said that qualification to the CAF Champions League groups after 25 years has made him go down in the club's history, saying that dreams have come true because every player was hurt by the noise of failing to qualify. /p>
Yanga playing at home at the Azam Complex Stadium, in Dar es Salaam, beat Al Merrikh of Sudan with a total of 3-0 goals, as the team won the first away game 2-0 in Kigali, Rwanda and to qualify for the groups since it last qualified in 1998
The act of being in the squad that extinguished the ghost that troubled the club, Mwamnyeto said he was happy to fulfill his dream and give pleasure to the fans of Yanga and that they are now going to plan to do as well as it was last season when they reached the finals of the African Confederation Cup
"I am very happy every player in the game was eager to see the team move forward and with the efforts and power of God we have succeeded"
"When we slipped last year, the leaders saw where the deficit was and we players fought and failed to reach this stage in the Champions League this season. We agreed to fight really hard and God will hear our prayers," said Mwamnyeto
The draw for the group stage will take place on Friday October 06 in South Africa where there will be approximately six weeks of preparation before the group matches kick off at the end of November 2023
