After taking part in the international friendly match against Kuwait—where the Tanzania national team, Taifa Stars, lost 4–3—the Yanga players who were on national duty have rejoined their teammates in preparations for the CAF Champions League match against AS FAR, scheduled for Saturday, November 22 at the New Amaan Complex.
Captain Bakari Nondo Mwamnyeto, Dickson Job, and Mohamed Hussein “Zimbwe Jr” were among the Taifa Stars players who travelled to Egypt.
Information from within Yanga’s management has confirmed that head coach Pedro Gonçalves wants his squad to arrive early in Zanzibar to finalize preparations for the match. Early tomorrow, Tuesday, Yanga will travel to Zanzibar.
Yanga are determined to start their CAFCL quarterfinal qualification campaign strongly and need a win against AS FAR.
There is no room for Wananchi to drop points at home if they want to secure a ticket to the quarterfinals.
