Tanzania giants Young Africans (Yanga SC) and Simba SC have both welcomed the decision by the Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) to change the date of the derby in the Mainland Premier League.
The Kariakoo derby which was the first meeting between the two giants in the 2020-21 campaign, has now been moved from October 18, 2020, to November 7, 2020, and will still be played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
The decision has now been received well with Yanga, with their official Antonio Nugaz saying it will give them humble time to prepare for the derby against their sworn rivals.
