The aggregate losers will move to the 2020-21 Total CAF Confederation Cup Playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Simba\u2019s successful advancement to the group stage has eventually given Tanzania benefits as it has climbed to the 12th place in the CAF football rankings.<\/p>\n<p>This means that if the nation envoys maintain a good form and either remain or climb further then in the next season Tanzania will provide four representatives for the African Club Championship (Champions League 2, Confederations Cup 2).<\/p>\n<p>The number of Tanzanian marks can increase depending on the results that Simba will get in the group stage and they will probably be more if Namungo Fc will be able to advance to the Confederations Cup groups.<\/p>\n<p>It was a memorable moment for Simba to have the honour of their reappearance to the CAF Champions\u2019 League group stage after missing that privilege last season.<\/p>\n<p>SIMBA gallantly marched into the group stage of CAF Champions League after handing FC Platinum of Zimbabwe a 4-0 blitz at Benjamin Mkapa stadium in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Thus advancing with 4-1 aggregate victory, Simba have ended FC Platinum run and forced them into the play off stage. Erasto Nyoni, Shomari Kapombe, John Bocco and Clatous Chama scored the vital goals, orchestrating the gallant trip to the group stage.<\/p>\n<p>Simba will then look forward to rectify a few challenges they faced in the pre-group stage matches so as to perform better and achieve further than the quarter finals they reached in the 2018-19 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
