Both sides have replaced names of betting company sponsors that occupies at the front part of their jerseys for other sponsors. One of the global betting firms is among CAF’s sponsors hence clubs with kits bearing names of the companies dealing with the same are not allowed, an opportunity that prompted the local clubs to introduce other jerseys for the competition.

It is the first time ever for Tanzania to have two envoys in the group stage of the Champions League.
