THE Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) has updated the fixture schedule for the NBC Premier League, rescheduling the match between Simba Sports Club and Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC) FC.

Originally slated for today, the game will now kick off tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. at the KMC Complex in Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam.

This minor adjustment has been met positively by Simba, who are eager for the matchup following a series of strong performances. 

Simba’s Information and Communication Manager, Ahmed Ally (pictured), expressed confidence in the team’s current form and enthusiasm to face KMC.

“Our recent victory over Mashujaa FC was crucial for us,” said Ally. “Securing three points in that game reinforced our position and gave our fans a memorable experience. I want to commend our players and technical bench for their dedication and the joy they bring to the fans.”

Ally encouraged Simba supporters to turn out in full force, emphasizing the impact of home support. 

“We’re back on home ground for Wednesday's afternoon match,” he added. “Let’s fill the stands and rally behind Simba. The real excitement lies within our team, and you don’t want to miss out.”

Simba approach the game on a three-match winning streak, underscoring their momentum and resilience as they pursue the top league honours. 

They defeated Tanzania Prisons 1-0, triumphed over Namungo FC 3-0, and most recently, edged out Mashujaa FC with a 1-0 victory.

Historically, Simba have dominated their encounters with KMC, remaining unbeaten in their last five league meetings, securing three wins and two draws. 

Currently, Simba sit third in the Premier League standings, amassing 22 points from nine games, with seven wins, one draw, and one loss.

However, KMC are not to be underestimated. They come into this match with two consecutive wins, recently defeating Tanzania Prisons 2-1 and edging Namungo FC 1-0, which has lifted them to sixth place in the standings. 

KMC have earned 14 points from ten matches, with four wins, two draws, and four losses this season.

In addition to this rescheduling, the TPLB has also postponed Simba’s fixture against Pamba Jiji FC, initially set for November 21, to a later date, yet to be confirmed. 

The adjustment is part of the TPLB’s effort to balance the league schedule, ensuring adequate preparation time for all teams.

With the Premier League well underway, the competition is heating up as teams jockey for higher positions in the standings. 

For Simba, a victory against KMC would narrow the gap with the league leaders and maintain their upward trajectory. 

Meanwhile, KMC will look to leverage their recent form to challenge one of the league’s top contenders.

Tomorrow’s match promises to be a thrilling showdown, as both teams bring recent winning momentum to the field. 

Simba’s formidable home support at the KMC Complex is expected to provide an added advantage, but KMC will likely pose a formidable challenge given their recent improvements and confidence in the league.
