Head Coach of Singida BS, Muhimu Kanu, has said that his team is going into tomorrow's match against Simba SC with the objective of winning. He stressed that any team aspiring to represent Tanzania in international competitions must be capable of defeating Simba. Kanu made these remarks on June 26, 2026, while speaking to journalists ahead of the NBC Premier League match scheduled for June 27.
Kanu's comments have added extra pressure and excitement ahead of the fixture, which is crucial for both sides. Simba SC are still fighting to keep their league title hopes alive and need all three points to remain in the championship race. Head coach Steve Backer has already acknowledged that he expects a highly competitive match, recognizing the strength of the opposition.
History also shows that Simba have often faced stiff resistance when playing against Singida BS, making the encounter difficult to predict despite the difference in the teams' positions in the league standings. In recent seasons, Singida have consistently demonstrated their competitiveness and have previously given Tanzania's football giants a tough challenge.
Beyond domestic competition, Singida BS have also shown progress on the international stage, boosting the confidence within the squad. Kanu's statement suggests he believes his team is capable of competing with—and defeating—any opponent, including Simba, in a high-stakes match.
For Simba, victory is important not only to add three points but also to keep their championship ambitions alive. Dropping points at this stage of the season would be a significant setback, with every match carrying considerable weight in the race for the NBC Premier League title.
Football fans across the country will now turn their attention to the June 27 clash to see whether Singida BS can back up their coach's bold words on the pitch, or whether Simba SC will demonstrate their quality and secure the vital three points in their pursuit of the league championship.
