This season’s competitions have continued to showcase intense rivalry between Tanzanian football giants Yanga SC and Azam FC, who have already met twice in the NBC Premier League and the Muungano Cup.
In their league encounter, the two sides played out a goalless draw, with both teams showing defensive discipline and carefully studying each other.
However, in the Muungano Cup, Yanga SC displayed dominance with a 2-1 victory over Azam FC — a result that took them to the final, where they eventually lost 1-0 to their rivals Simba.
Now, there are still another 180 minutes of the “Dar es Salaam Derby” to be played, as the two teams are set to meet again in the semi-finals of the CRDB Cup. The winner will advance to face either Simba SC or Coastal Union in the final.
In addition, their league campaign is also unfinished, with the second-round NBC Premier League fixture still to be played, where Yanga SC will host Azam FC.
These two highly anticipated matches, scheduled for June 2026, are expected to be intense encounters that could play a decisive role in determining the fate of this season’s trophies for both clubs.
