Tanzania Mainland football champions Yanga SC are in Lindi today to begin their campaign to defend the Premier League title for a sixth consecutive season.
At 9:00 p.m., Yanga will take on Namungo FC at Majaliwa Stadium in their opening match of the new season.
The Yanga squad arrived in Ruangwa two days ago, with head coach Manqoba Mngqithi's players completing their preparations yesterday.
Despite recognising the difficulty of the match, Mngqithi says his team will face Namungo with the same quality and determination they showed in their previous match against Simba, when they secured a 1-0 victory to lift the Community Shield in Zanzibar.
Mngqithi also confirmed that all the players who travelled with the team to Zanzibar are ready for the match, which is scheduled to kick off at 9:00 p.m.
