Today marks the final day to close the books on the 2024/25 competition season, with the CRDB Cup final match between Yanga and Singida Black Stars taking place at the New Amaan Complex in Zanzibar.
Another big and unique match will be witnessed on the islands, just four days after the Kariakoo Derby which decided the Premier League title — a 2-0 victory for Yanga over Simba, securing their fourth consecutive championship.
This will be Yanga’s fifth consecutive appearance in the CRDB Cup final, as they aim to win the title for the fourth time in a row.
However, it is clear that it won’t be an easy match. This season, Singida BS have proven themselves to be a strong team, having reached the final by defeating Simba 3-1 in the semifinal stage.
Yanga and Singida BS are meeting for the third time this season, with Yanga narrowly winning both of their previous encounters in league matches.
The most memorable of those was the first-round match played at the New Amaan Complex, where Yanga secured a 1-0 win.
That match was among the best in the just-concluded Premier League season. It’s clear that today, football fans can expect yet another thrilling final in Zanzibar.
