TANZANIA: FOOTBALL giants of the country, Simba and Young Africans will be back in action in the Azam Sports Federation Cup (ASFC) as they battle Tembo FC and Housing FC respectively in the second round of the competition.

According to the ASFC timetable released on Sunday by the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF), Yanga will host Housing FC from Njombe at Azam Complex in Dar es Salaam tomorrow.

Other matches include Mtibwa Sugar who will face Nyakagwe FC from Geita at Manungu Complex in Morogoro and Kagera Sugar will entertain Dar City at Kaitaba Stadium in Kagera. On Wednesday, one game will be staged as Simba will host Tembo FC from the Tabora region at a venue yet to be confirmed.

Each of the eight teams is seeking qualification for the third round. So far, eleven Premier League teams have marched to the ASFC third round after winning in their second-round duels. The competition which is played on a knockout basis has reached an epic phase with each side playing their lungs out to make it to the finishing line and battle for the title.

Until now, Tanzania Prisons are the only top-flight league side that failed to progress to the third round as they succumbed to a 5-6 post-match penalty defeat from TRA Kilimanjaro in a tight match at the Sokoine Stadium in Mbeya.

For Azam, they cherished a 2-1 win over Alliance to move forward in the competition while Tabora United defeated Monduli Coffee 4-1 at Jamhuri Stadium in Dodoma to step into the third round. Geita Gold ousted Singida Cluster 5-0 at Nyankumbu Stadium in Geita as Mashujaa saw off Mbuga FC 3-2 at Lake Tanganyika Stadium in Kigoma while Namungo hammered Hollywood FC 5-0 at Majaliwa Stadium in Lindi.
