Cup
The Tanzania Cup 2026 (season 70/71) is the premier knockout football competition in Tanzania. The tournament concluded with the final on July 4, 2026, where Simba SC emerged as champions.
Unlike a league, the Tanzania Cup is decided through singleโelimination ties. The 2026 edition featured at least four clubs: Simba SC, Azam FC, Young Africans SC, and Coastal Union. Simba SC dominated their semiโfinal, routing Coastal Union 4โ0 on June 20, while Azam FC needed a 2โ2 draw against Young Africans to advance. In the final, Simba SC secured a 1โ0 victory over Azam FC to lift the trophy.
Based on the semiโfinal performances, Simba SC entered the final as clear favorites. Their commanding 4โ0 win showcased superior form, whereas Azamโs 2โ2 draw signaled vulnerabilities. We assess that prior to the final Simba SC held a 65% chance of winning the title, while Azam FC stood at 35%. After the final whistle, Simba SCโs chance naturally became 100%.
The three recorded matches produced 9 goals, giving an average of 3.00 goals per game. Simba SC scored 5 goals and conceded none across their two fixtures, underlining a rockโsolid defense. The competition involved at least 4 teams, all from the top tier of Tanzanian football.
