The 2023/2024 Premier League champions are also set to begin their pre-season training camp today in preparation for the new competition season. Head coach Miguel Gamondi has called for all new signings and existing squad members to report to camp in Dar es Salaam on July 1.

A source within the club revealed that Gamondi has communicated with club officials via phone, urging them to expedite the registration process. He emphasized the importance of having all players ready for pre-season preparations starting today.

Young Africans’ information and communication manager, Ally Kamwe, has confirmed the club’s plans.
