SIMBA Sports Club, the football giants from Msimbazi Street, are set to unveil their latest jerseys today as they gear up for their upcoming CAF Confederation Cup campaign.

The jersey launch will take place ahead of Simba’s NBC Premier League match against Pamba Jiji FC, scheduled for November 22 at Nyamagana Stadium, Mwanza.

The jerseys, crafted in white, red, and blue, are said to meet international standards and have been specifically designed for the team’s Group A campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup.

“We are confident in the quality of these jerseys, which reflect the high standards Simba SC represent,” said a source within the club.

Simba’s Information and Communication Manager, Ahmed Ally, confirmed the jerseys will be available for purchase immediately after the launch.

“The unveiling ceremony will be broadcast live on our social media platforms and through our sponsor, Azam TV. Fans can purchase the jerseys at Sandaland stores shortly after the launch,” Ally stated.

The jerseys symbolize Simba’s ambitions as they prepare to represent Tanzania on the continental stage. 

Simba’s CAF Confederation Cup journey begins on November 27 with a home fixture against Bravos do Maquis from Angola at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

Simba earned their place in the group stage with a commanding 3-1 aggregate victory over Libya’s Al Ahly Tripoli. After a goalless draw in the first leg, Simba delivered a thrilling 3-1 victory at home, securing their advancement.

Before turning their attention to the CAF Confederation Cup, Simba will face Pamba Jiji FC in the NBC Premier League. This match is expected to serve as an essential test for the team’s readiness, with preparations currently underway in their Dar es Salaam training camp.

The new jerseys have sparked excitement among fans, who eagerly await the unveiling. The launch not only reflects Simba’s commitment to quality but also reinforces their identity as one of Africa’s leading football clubs.

With their sights set on continental glory, Simba’s new kits aim to inspire both the team and its supporters in the challenges ahead.
