Dar es Salaam. In a dramatic twist that has shaken the Tanzanian football fraternity, Simba Sports Club has publicly declared that it will not participate in any Mainland Premier League match against its traditional rivals, Young Africans (Yanga), if the Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) postpones the highly anticipated derby clash scheduled for Sunday, June 15, 2025.
The warning follows a statement issued by Simba on June 12, 2025, urging its fans, members, and stakeholders to prepare for the match scheduled to take place at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam, as originally planned by the league board.
