Yanga SC Stays on Top as NBC Premier League Race Heats Up

As of February 24, 2025, Yanga SC continues to dominate the NBC Premier League, sitting comfortably at the top of the table with 55 points after 21 matches. With an impressive goal difference of 46, Yanga has proven once again why they are the reigning champions and one of the most formidable teams in Tanzanian football.

Their nearest rivals, Simba SC, are keeping the pressure on with 51 points from 20 games — one match less than Yanga. This sets up an exciting title race as Simba still has a chance to close the gap if they win their game in hand.

Azam FC follows in third place with 44 points, while Singida Black Stars FC hold the fourth position with 38 points. These teams have been consistent, but the gap between them and the top two is widening.

At the other end of the table, Ken Gold SC sits at the bottom with 14 points, struggling to keep up with the competition. Kagera Sugar FC and Tanzania Prisons FC are also in the relegation zone with 15 and 18 points respectively, fighting to stay in the league.

Pamba Jiji FC, Yanga’s next opponents, are currently 11th on the table with 22 points and a goal difference of -7. Despite their position, they remain a tricky side, especially with home advantage at CCM Kirumba Stadium.

With the league heading into its crucial stages, the battle for the title, top four positions, and survival in the league promises more excitement. All eyes are on Yanga SC — can they maintain their lead and secure another championship, or will Simba SC catch up and challenge for the throne?
