Simba SC head coach Roberto Oliveira has revealed he has formed a well-balanced squad ready to challenge for domestic and international titles they will be engaged in this season.
The Wekundu wa Msimbazi returned to Tanzania on Wednesday from Turkey where they had pitched preseason camp ahead of the busy upcoming campaign that will see them fight for the Mainland Premier League title, feature in the Caf Champions League, and also play in the inaugural eight-team Africa Football League.
“I am satisfied with the camp, it was very positive and so far, I have two groups of players. The first group is for the players, who began the camp early and are in excellent condition,” Oliviera said as quoted by Daily News, adding: “The second group is for the players who joined the camp late hence they need more time to train and be at the same level of performance with their colleagues.”

He continued: “The most important thing is that we have a good balance in the team such that when one player is injured, you can use the other who can give the same performance as the one who is injured, this is very important. My objective is good performance… sometimes I can use Sadio Kanoute, sometimes I can use Fabrice Ngoma or I can feature Clatous Chama or Essomba Onana, they are all of the same level.”
Meanwhile, the club’s members and fans continue to do various social activities ahead of the climax of Simba Day scheduled at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Sunday. On the day, the club will unveil its full squad for the next term, and above all, they will test their acquired arsenals by playing a friendly against Zambia’s Power Dynamos.
