The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially released the full fixture list for the CAF Champions League group stage, with Tanzania Mainland champions Yanga facing a tough test in Group B as they battle Al Ahly, AS FAR, and JS Kabylie for a quarter-final spot.
Good news for Yanga fans is that their team will both open and close the group stage campaign at home—starting against AS FAR and concluding against JS Kabylie at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
The first match is scheduled between November 21–23, 2025, while the final group game will take place between February 13–15, 2026, also at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
Only two matches will be played at the end of this month, after which the competition will pause for two months to accommodate the FIFA and CAF calendars.
The remaining four matches will resume at the end of January 2026, with a tight four-week schedule to wrap up the group stage.
Judging by the schedule, if Wananchi play their cards right, their chances of advancing to the quarter-finals appear strong and well within their control.
Full Group Stage Schedule:
- Nov 21–23: Yanga vs AS FAR
- Nov 28–30: JS Kabylie vs Yanga
- Jan 23–25: Al Ahly vs Yanga
