FOLLOWING their 2-0 NBC Premier League victory over JKT Tanzania at Chamazi on Tuesday, Young Africans are now unbeaten in their last 50 home league games.

That domination of home league fixtures stretches all the way back to 2021 when they lost 1-0 to Azam in what was then head coach Nasreddine Nabi’s first game in charge of the club. 

Three years without a home defeat in the league.

The reigning champions have won 45 and drawn only five of the games during their run, an astonishing 90 percent win rate and 2.8 points per match.

In this unbeaten run, Young Africans have scored 119 goals and conceded just 18. Their defensive solidity has been a cornerstone of their success, with 36 clean sheets registered.

This balance between attack and defence has made them one of the most difficult teams to beat in Tanzania and across Africa.

Bitter rivals Simba are responsible for two of those draws. Azam, Mbeya City and Tanzania Prisons are the only other teams to take points off the Green and Yellow.

They have won 30 successive home league matches and are unbeaten in the last 24 meetings in all competitions.

This victory means Young Africans maintain their 100% winning record after six games of 2024/25 as they look to claim a fourth successive title. 

Overall, it’s now 16 games without a defeat in the top flight.

Coach Miguel Gamondi (pictured) will surely demand a maintenance of focus from his side with some huge fixtures coming up. 

Young Africans face Coastal Union tomorrow, before travelling to Zanzibar for another away game against Singida Black Stars on Wednesday.

However, the real test looms on November 2, when they face Azam, who are the last team to beat them both home and away.
