THE defending NBC Premier League champions, Young Africans, are set to face Coastal Union today at the Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha, aiming to continue their dominance.

Young Africans, who remain unbeaten this season in the league with six wins in six matches, enter the field determined to strengthen their campaign as they aim to claim their fourth consecutive title.

Speaking on behalf of his fellow players, goalkeeper Khomeini Abubakar (pictured) expressed great confidence in winning the game against Coastal Union.

“First of all, we thank God that we’re in good health and are well-prepared to bring joy to our fans. The coach has addressed everything important; we just need to follow his instructions and give it our all. 

“Yanga is a big team with a strong technical staff, and everything is in order,” said Abubakar.

“We don’t feel any pressure; we’re ready to help the team in any way we can. Whoever gets the chance will have to fight for the team. 

“I believe that Diarra (goalkeeper Djigui) embodies our technical team’s strategies. Whatever Diarra does, know that it’s part of the team’s tactics, which we all embrace together,” Abubakar added.

The team is enjoying exceptional form this season, clinching six consecutive Premier League victories with clean sheets and extending their unbeaten home record to an impressive 50 matches, including 45 wins and five draws. 

After Arusha, Young Africans will travel to Zanzibar for another away game on Wednesday against Singida Black Stars.

After Singida Black Stars, Young Africans will lock horn with Azam FC, who are the last team to beat them both home and away, on November 2.
