Singida Black Stars have been drawn in Group C of the 2026/27 CAF Confederation Cup group stage, alongside AS Maniema Union of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo), Zambia’s Red Arrows and the winner of the tie between Algeria’s CR Belouizdad and Guinea’s Hafia FC. The draw took place on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, in Cairo, Egypt.
The group is expected to be highly competitive due to the opponents’ experience in international football. If CR Belouizdad qualify, they could make the group even more challenging given their history in Algerian football. Meanwhile, AS Maniema Union and Red Arrows will look to use their experience in African competitions to fight for a place in the next round.
For Singida Black Stars, reaching the group stage for the second consecutive season marks an important step in establishing themselves in African football. The Tanzanian side secured qualification after eliminating Kenya’s Tusker FC in the preliminary rounds and now face a tougher test against opponents from different countries.
The group-stage matches are expected to begin in late November 2026, with the full fixture schedule yet to be announced. Singida Black Stars will need thorough preparation and must make the most of every opportunity to collect points, strengthen their chances of reaching the next round and continue representing Tanzania in African club competitions.
