Tanzania has two clubs in the quarterfinals of the Champions League how significant is this for the country and for East African football in general well definitely that is a very huge achievement for the region but you really have to dig deep into the files to know when exactly East Africa or the
Scafa region itself had two teams at this particular stage in the competition and that is 2015 the Sudanese clubs Al a and alhilal rather and El mik being in the same situation that now the Tanzanian clubs Simba and yanga are in but it’s it speaks much to the growth of

Shock exits such as that of 2022 winners wad Casablanca now with all the regions represented in the last eight what does this say about the competitiveness of the elite club competition well African football and this particular stage the club inter Club competition is probably one of the toughest that You’ have
Anywhere in football uh and it speaks a lot about uh the structures and uh and and the stages that clubs actually have to go through to reach the final stage the final eight maybe the semi-finals of it’s still the finals and and it’s it’s it’s it takes a lot of greet for these
Clubs to make it to this stage but there’s been growth uh for several clubs across across the board and this comes with the changes in Administration in particular football associations access to finance and the strategies that the clubs have had and also still the football associations have hard in
Trying to push the agenda of growth and being competitive several years ago it was very difficult to have Tanzania clubs at at this particular stage competing a few years ago uganda’s kcca also punched its way through to uh The Knockout to a bit of The Knockout stages
They’re in and and it says a lot about what is anticipated for for for the clubs in in the region both from uh the North and the southern part the West Africans have consistently been there but of course the differences there in are in terms of administration strategy

The inter club uh Club competitions and and and have progressed to the quarterfinals of uh of the confederations cup their Journey has been interesting uh defeating Miller FC of Guinea though they quite consider a lot car FC of Sierra Leon and now the group stages where they uh picked out
Four wins and two losses topped that group as well definitely uh this is a dream that they’re ENT entirely living and like this slogan goes still believe uh definitely there’s a lot of belief in this particular Club potentially to even still make it to the final all right
