The Yanga SC team is set to head to Zanzibar tomorrow for a crucial match in the African Champions League (CAFCL) 2025/26 against FAR Rabat, which will take place at the New Amaan Complex.
The team will depart at 3 AM by boat, with all preparations completed.
However, some players, including Prince Dube, Celestine Ecua, and Lassine Kouma, who are still engaged with their national teams, will not be part of the initial travel group.
The club's Public Relations and Communications Manager, Ally Kamwe, stated that all arrangements have been made for these players to travel and join their teammates directly in Zanzibar.
On the other hand, players who were with the Tanzania national team have already returned and will be part of tomorrow's journey. Kamwe has called on the residents of Zanzibar to come out in large numbers to welcome the team and show their support ahead of this historic match. "Two of the best teams in Africa are set to meet," he said.
Speaking about the match, Kamwe noted that the game between Yanga and FAR Rabat is the biggest ever to be played at the New Amaan Complex, and it is currently the most talked-about clash across the African continent.
He urged fans to secure their tickets early, which are already on sale at various outlets and online. For the fans in Zanzibar, their regular cards will be accepted, and for those who have lost theirs, new cards will be available outside the stadium tomorrow.
In his message to the fans, Kamwe emphasized that now is the time for action, not just words, stressing that Yanga is determined to fight for three crucial points in this group stage match. "You will witness a completely different Yanga. This is a week of hard work," he stated.
He concluded by urging Yanga members and supporters to continue their preparations to support their team, highlighting the importance of everyone being ready for the challenges on Saturday at the New Amaan Complex.
