FORMER SIMBA SPORTS CLUB PLAYER BAKARI IDDI HAS PASSED AWAY

 

The management of Simba Club has received with great sorrow the news of the death of former player Bakari Iddi, which occurred this evening at his home in Kigogo, Dar es Salaam.

During his lifetime, Bakari Iddi served Simba from 1989 to 1992, playing in the number eight midfielder position and being among the players who represented the club during that period.

In 1991, Bakari was part of the Simba squad that played in the final of the East and Central Africa Champions Club (CECAFA) against Sports Club Villa of Uganda, where Simba won the championship after securing a 3-0 victory in the match played at Uhuru Stadium, Dar es Salaam.

Simba has joined the family, relatives, and friends in mourning the death of Bakari Iddi, while praying to God to rest his soul in eternal peace.

A SHORT TALE OF EAST AFRICAN FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT FOR THE GOSSAGE CUP IN 1965

The year 1965 was historic for Tanganyika/Tanzania football after clinching the Gossage Cup title for the fifth time in Kampala, Uganda.

The team was captained by Sharif Salim and coached by Yugoslavian Pejo Celebic, who helped strengthen modern tactics.

The victory celebrations were made even more special when Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere personally congratulated the players, seen in the photo standing with the entire squad at the State House in Dar es Salaam.

For Mwalimu, football was not just a game, but a tool for national unity in a young nation.

The 1965 squad included:  

Kitwana “Popat” Manara, Sembwanna, Mohamed Chuma, Abeid Maulid, Mbaraka Salum, Abdallah Aziz, Kitwana Ibrahim, Hemed Seif, Hamisi Kilomoni, Mathias Kissa, Mohamed Msomali, Emil Kondo, John Limo (Lyimo), Abdulrahman Lukongo, Hamisi Fikirini, and Rashid Seif.

This victory cemented Tanzania’s place in East African football history, marking the end of the Gossage Cup era before it was renamed in 1967 to the East and Central African Challenge Cup, now known as the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup.
