Yanga SC Head of Information and Communications, Ali Kamwe, has said the defending champions are fully prepared to defend their CRDB Bank Federation Cup title.
Speaking during a meeting with Yanga branches in Mwanza, Kamwe urged fans and members to turn up in large numbers at CCM Kirumba Stadium for the semi-final clash against Azam FC.
He said Azam FC remains one of Yanga’s toughest opponents, making the upcoming match highly competitive and challenging.
However, Kamwe insisted that as defending champions, Yanga will fight hard to secure a place in the final and continue their bid for a fifth consecutive CRDB Cup title.
"We are expecting a tough and highly competitive match against Azam FC here in Mwanza. I assure you that the management is ready, the technical bench is ready, and the players are also ready for this important match," said Kamwe.
"We are asking you, our fans, to show your readiness by turning up in large numbers at the stadium and giving the team the support it deserves. Mwanza has often been referred to as a stronghold for Yanga, and this is the time to prove it in action."
"Let us all take part in preparing for this match and fill the stadium to give our players strength, motivation, and morale as they step onto the field to defend the honor of our club," he added.
Kamwe also acknowledged the strength of Azam FC, especially their experienced technical bench led by veteran African coach Florent Ibenge.
He said Yanga respects their opponents but remains confident in their own preparation and squad quality going into the match.
"Azam FC is a very good team with strong competition. They have an experienced coach and quality players with plenty of top-level experience. However, tomorrow they will be facing YANGA."
"A big club with history, quality, and vast experience in Tanzanian football. We respect our opponents, but we have full confidence in our preparations, team unity, strong branch support, and player readiness. Together, we believe we will fight hard to secure victory and reach the CRDB Cup final."
"The CRDB Cup is currently in our hands as defending champions. Our aim is to see YANGA defend this title and win it for the fifth consecutive time. However, this will not be achieved without strong support from our fans."
"The match schedule has been tight and demanding, with every remaining game carrying great importance. At this stage, the players need our support more than ever, and our voices from the stands play a huge role in motivating them."
"Tomorrow is an important day for the Wananchi family. Wake up early, get ready, dress well, and come with your family, friends, or loved ones. Let us meet in large numbers at CCM Kirumba Stadium and support Yanga. Together, let us show the power of the Wananchi and be part of the journey to defend our title," Kamwe added.
