The veteran tactician was on hand to appreciate the players, his technical team, club management and fans for their support through out the season.

Young Africans head coach Nabbi Nasreddine, like everyone else at the club, is over the moon following the club’s 4-2 league win over Dodoma Jiiji, which also sealed the league title.

The veteran tactician was on hand to appreciate the players, his technical team, club management and fans for their support through out the season.

However, he emphasized that the focus is entirely on the CAF Confederations Cup return leg against Marumo Gallants.

“Congratulations to the players, fans, club leadership and technical team for this league win, we had to rest a few players like (Aziz Ki and Aucho) because of the big game coming up, but I am happy we won,” Nabbi told the media after the game.

Young Africans are champions once again.

“We now have a day to recover, then start preparing for the return leg in South Africa; it’s a massive game for us.”

A Mudathiri Abbas brace and strikes from Farid Mussa and Kennedy Musonda earned Young Africans a 4-2 win on Saturday afternoon at the Azam complex.

‘Tiimu ya Wanainchi will now travel to South Africa with a 2-0 lead for the CAF Confederations Cup semifinal second leg; they also face Singida Big Stars in the semifinals of the Azam Federation Cup on 21st May 2023.

It’s the 29th league title for the Yellow and green army in the club’s history.
