Young Africans SC, Yanga SC, have once again made Tanzanian football history by securing a fifth consecutive Mainland Tanzania Premier League title and their 32nd overall.

Their latest achievement came after a dramatic 2025/26 campaign. SportPesa-sponsored Yanga finished with 75 points, narrowly edging rivals Simba SC by just two points to retain the crown. The title was sealed on the final day of the season with a commanding 3–0 victory over JKT Tanzania.

For SportPesa, Yanga’s success is a powerful example of what long-term investment in football can achieve. SportPesa first partnered with the club in 2017, supporting one of Tanzania’s most successful and culturally significant sporting institutions.

In August 2025, the partnership was strengthened with a new three-year sponsorship agreement worth TZS 21.7 billion, building on a shared commitment to ambition, development, and the future of Tanzanian football.

The support goes beyond the men’s first team. SportPesa also backs Yanga’s women’s programme and grassroots football initiatives, helping create pathways for the next generation of players. This reflects a wider commitment to strengthening football communities across Tanzania—from elite competition to grassroots teams.

Through initiatives such as the Shabiki Cup and the Game Changers programme, SportPesa continues to invest in opportunities that help young talent grow and succeed.

Yanga’s fifth consecutive title has sparked celebrations across Tanzania. For SportPesa, it is a demonstration of the SportPesa Effect—the long-term impact that sustained investment can have on clubs, players, supporters, and the wider football ecosystem.
