Yanga, KMC face off in Mainland Tanzania Premier League match

Dar es Salaam. Young Africans SC (Yanga) today February 17, 2024 seek another victory in the ongoing Mainland Tanzania Premier league as they face Kinondoni Municipal Council (KMC).

He said they are optimistic about coming out with a good result in the match, despite KMC being one of the tough teams in the league.

“We target to record victories in the league matches in order to retain the title, it is going to be a tough game, but my players are in high morale and ready for the challenge,

“KMC are a strong team in the league, despite their previous results. They have talented players, but we are going to show our prowess against them,” he said.
