Mtibwa Sugar has needed just one season to return to the NBC Premier League after yesterday's 1-1 draw against Bigman FC at the Ilulu Lindi Stadium
The sugarcane cutters from Morogoro region have become the first team to claim the ticket with two games left to end the 2024-2025 season.
Mtibwa, which was relegated last season along with Geita Gold, has been promoted after Stand United was forced to draw away from home with Cosmopolitan.
Mtibwa Sugar has reached 67 points after playing 28 games, so the only team that can reach them is Mbeya City, which beat Geita Gold 3-2, where if it wins its two remaining matches it will reach 68 points.
In this sense, Stand United's draw puts it in third place with 59 points, where even if it wins its two remaining games it will end with 65, so it will be a tight race of competing in the 'Play-Off' games to seek a ticket to advance only
While Mtibwa Sugar has secured a return to the premier league, KenGold, which was promoted last season, has already secured a ticket to play in the Championship next season
