📰. SIMBA SC SHORTLISTED FOR PRESTIGIOUS CAF CLUB OF THE YEAR AWARD 💡

TANZANIA’S Football Powerhouse Simba Sports Club Has Been Named Among The Ten Elite African Teams Shortlisted For The CAF Club Of The Year Award, One Of The Most Coveted Honors In Continental Football. This Marks The Second Consecutive Nomination For The Dar Es Salaam-Based Giants, Following Their Recognition In 2024 Alongside Their Long-Time Rivals Young Africans (Yanga SC).

Simba’s Inclusion Underscores Their Continued Dominance In Regional Competitions And Consistency On The African Stage. Their Rivals, Yanga SC, Also Made Headlines Last Season After Narrowly Missing Out On The CAF Confederation Cup Title, Losing To USM Alger On Away Goals Despite A Determined Performance Across Both Legs.

The Competition For This Year’s CAF Club Of The Year Accolade Is Fierce, With CR Belouizdad And CS Constantine (Algeria), Asec Mimosas (Ivory Coast), Pyramids FC (Egypt), RS Berkane (Morocco), And Three South African Clubs—Mamelodi Sundowns, Orlando Pirates, And Stellenbosch FC—Joining Simba On The Shortlist. Sudan’s Al Hilal Completes The List Of Nominees.

In A Surprising Twist, Al Ahly Of Egypt, The Seven-Time Winners Who Have Dominated The Award In Recent Years, Are Notably Absent From This Year’s List. Their Omission Opens The Door For Emerging Powerhouses To Etch Their Names Into The History Books And Redefine The Competitive Landscape Of African Club Football.

Since Its Inception In 2000, The CAF Awards Have Celebrated Excellence Across The Continent, Recognizing Players, Coaches, And Teams That Elevate The Sport. For Simba, This Nomination Represents Not Only A Milestone Of Recognition But Also A Reflection Of Tanzania’s Growing Presence And Influence In African Football. As Anticipation Builds For The 2025 CAF Awards, All Eyes Will Be On These Ten Clubs To See Who Will Claim The Coveted Honor.
