The Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) has officially released the updated fixture list for the remainder of the 2024/2025 NBC Premier League season, along with key dates for the CRDB Bank Federation Cup.
At the heart of this announcement is the rescheduled Kariakoo Derby the fiercely contested showdown between arch rivals Young Africans SC (Yanga) and Simba SC which is now slated for Sunday, June 15, 2025, at 5:00 PM. The match will be held at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
Regarded as one of Africa’s most iconic football rivalries, the Kariakoo Derby is much more than just a game. It captures national attention, fills stadiums to capacity, and unites fans in celebration of Tanzanian football.
With both teams currently in strong form, this particular encounter is expected to play a decisive role in shaping the outcome of the league title race.
The NBC Premier League will officially conclude on June 22, 2025, just one week after the derby. The final rounds of fixtures are expected to be intense, with several clubs battling for the championship, qualification for CAF competitions, and survival from relegation.
In addition to league action, the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has confirmed that the final of the CRDB Bank Federation Cup will take place between June 26 and 28, 2025. Details regarding the exact date and venue will be released in due course.
The Federation Cup remains a vital competition, offering an alternative route to continental football for clubs outside the top league positions.
Both Yanga and Simba are still in contention in the cup tournament, meaning a potential second high-stakes clash between the two giants could be on the cards before the season ends.
With multiple trophies still up for grabs, clubs will be pushing hard to finish strong, and fans can expect a dramatic and entertaining end to the season.
As June approaches, all eyes will be on Tanzania’s football calendar, with the Kariakoo Derby taking center stage.
Supporters, players, and officials alike are preparing for what promises to be a thrilling and historic conclusion to the 2024/2025 campaign.
