The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has confirmed that the Community Shield match to launch the 2025/26 season will be played on September 16 at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
The match will feature Simba and Yanga, following changes in the regulations that have restored the Community Shield format to its traditional system, where the league champions face the CRDB Cup winners.
However, if one team wins both trophies, the Community Shield will then be contested between the league champions and the league runners-up.
These changes were necessitated by scheduling challenges, as Tanzania is hosting the CHAN tournament which concludes on August 30, followed immediately by CAF competition fixtures.
