Yanga management has been asked to stand by its stance following the league board's decision to postpone the Premier League match between Yanga and Simba that was to be played at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium
Legal lawyer Simon Patrick has said the decision to postpone the match taken by the league's Steering and Management Committee is invalid because the committee has no authority to discuss a match that has not been played
Simon said what was done was a strategy to deprive Yanga of three points in accordance with the rules and save Simba from winning 15 points as required by the rules
Simon said Yanga leaders should not agree to play the match at another time
In another move, Yanga Vice President Arafat Haji said he does not see a chance for Yanga to play another league match this season against Simba
Arafat said that from what they know, the match against Simba should be played today as scheduled
"I will be the last to believe that for the season "In 2024/25 Yanga will play another Derby game in addition to the one scheduled for 8/03/2025," said Arafat.
