As Yanga prepare for their Mainland Premier League clash against traditional rivals Simba tomorrow, Saturday, at Uhuru Stadium, the team is also keeping an eye on the matches that will follow the derby.
On October 17, Yanga will resume their campaign to secure a place in the CAF Champions League group stage when they face Madagascar’s CFFA.
Yanga are scheduled to play the first leg away from home before concluding the tie in the second leg on October 24 at Azam Complex.
The good news for Wananchi is that both matches could potentially be played at Azam Complex.
No stadium in Madagascar has been approved by CAF for use in the Champions League, forcing CFFA to request permission to use Azam Complex, which Yanga also use for their matches in the competition.
Reports indicate that the club has already submitted Azam Complex to CAF as its home venue for the first leg against Yanga.
This development could allow Yanga to play both legs on home soil in Tanzania, potentially putting them in a stronger position to reach the group stage.
