Dar es Salaam. If you thought Young Africans (Yanga) would miss the service of their prolific midfielder, Stephane Aziz Ki, in the next season, then you are far off the mark.

The fact is that the Burkinabe national, who was born in Ivory Coast, has put an end to speculation about his future by signing a two-year contract extension with Yanga.

The announcement, eagerly awaited by fans, was made via Yanga's official social media channels onWednesday, July 10, 2024.

"I have decided to remain with Yanga to complete the task with the club," Aziz Ki stated, reaffirming his dedication to the team and his aspirations for upcoming seasons.

He emphasized his commitment to propel Yanga towards the finals of the CAF Champions League, highlighting the ambitious goals set by the club.

The decision comes after weeks of uncertainty surrounding Aziz Ki's status, following rumors of his potential departure. His return to the club was discreet, landing at Julius Nyerere International Airport Terminal 3 to avoid media attention.

Since joining Yanga in 2022, Aziz Ki has been instrumental in their successes, including three Premier League titles and a notable run to the CAF Confederation Cup final. His prolific scoring prowess earned him the golden boot last season with 21 goals in the NBC Premier League, solidifying his reputation as a top striker.

Aziz Ki's renewed commitment is seen as pivotal for Yanga's aspirations in domestic and international competitions, especially in the CAF Champions League. His leadership and experience are expected to play a crucial role once again as Yanga seeks further glory.

Fans and teammates alike celebrate Aziz Ki's decision, eager to witness his continued impact in the Green and Yellow colors as the new season approaches.
