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.

TANZANIA’S TOP PREMIER CLUB YOUNG AFRICANS (YANGA) LAUNCHES $2 MILLION TOWER PROJECT
DAR ES SALAAM: YOUNG Africans has launched construction of a 12-storey commercial building in Kariakoo, Dar es Salaam, in a move aimed at creating a new source of income for the club.
Yanga president Hersi Said announced the project yesterday during a contractsigning ceremony in Dar es Salaam.
The building, to be known as Yanga Tower, will be constructed at the junction of Mafia and Nyamwezi streets, where a large tent currently stands.
The construction contract has been awarded to Group Six International at a cost of 5.5bn/-, with Azania Bank providing financing for the project.
Hersi said the investment was part of the club’s plan to strengthen its financial position and reduce reliance on income from football.
“It has taken a long time to plan, but today we are laying the foundation for a legacy for future generations,” he said.
The tower will include shops and offices and is expected to provide Yanga with a sustainable source of revenue once completed.

Dar es Salaam — Tanzania U-19 Women’s cricket head coach Imran Nackerdien has challenged his players to become “thinking cricketers” capable of making the right decisions under pressure as they battle for Africa’s sole ticket to the ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2027.
Nackerdien said preparations for the tournament have gone beyond the technical aspects of the game, with players being encouraged to read match situations, make informed decisions and take responsibility on the field.
“This tournament is not just all about cricket; it’s about thinking cricketers. That’s what we’re trying to produce — thinking cricketers on and off the field,” Nackerdien said.
Tanzania today welcomes seven of the continent’s most promising young women’s cricket teams for the ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier Division 1, which gets underway at the TCA Cricket Arena at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and runs until September 5, 2026.
The qualifier features eight African teams, with the winner securing the continent’s place at the ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2027.
FOCUS ON DECISION-MAKING
Nackerdien acknowledged that playing on home soil brings additional expectations, but said Tanzania should also view hosting the tournament as a privilege and make the most of the opportunity to play international cricket in front of home supporters.
“Obviously, there is a lot of pressure being the home side, but also the privilege of being the host nation,” he said.
The coach explained that the team’s preparations have focused on helping players remain composed and think through different situations during matches.
He said the players have been trained to assess their position in a game, including keeping an eye on the scoreboard and determining how best to position themselves after a certain number of overs.
According to Nackerdien, the ability to understand match situations and respond intelligently will be critical as Tanzania faces strong opposition from across the continent.
He also emphasised the importance of unity and fighting spirit, saying both qualities will be vital if Tanzania is to overcome the challenge posed by its opponents.
SAUMU DEO TARGETS HOME-SOIL TRIUMPH
Meanwhile, Tanzania Women’s National Team captain Saumu Deo has set her sights on keeping the trophy on home soil.
Deo said the players are ready to give their best from the opening match through to the final and make full use of the support from home fans.
“We have promised that the trophy will remain at home. We will give our best from the beginning to the end, with energy and confidence,” she said.
With home advantage, strong support from local fans and a squad eager to make its mark, Tanzania will now look to turn its preparations into results as the race for Africa’s coveted ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2027 ticket begins in Dar es Salaam.
