Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu has delivered her Valentine’s Day promise to pay Simba and Yanga’s goals in the CAF Champions League and Confederations cup respectively.
The president staked about Tshs. 5 million (Ushs.8 million) for every goal that the two giants score from the group stages onwards.
The giants beat Vipers 1-0 on Saturday in Kitende through Henock Inonga’s 20th-minute strike for their first win.
Simba board chairman Salim Abdallah received the cash and handed it over to the team captain John Bocco.
“We appreciate the support of the president and promise her that we’ll work harder to raise the flag higher and make her and the country proud,” Bocco said.
Simba sits third in Group C with three points, one below Guinea’s AC Horoya. Raja Casablanca from Morocco leads with nine points while Vipers lie at the bottom with one point.
The two East African neighbours face again in Dar Es Salaam this weekend.
