Simba’s next CAF Champions League match will be the first leg of the Second Preliminary Round between 16 and 18 October 2026. The opponent will be the winner of 15 de Agosto vs Fomboni.

One qualifying round remains. If Simba win the Second Preliminary Round over two legs, they will join the 16 clubs in the group stage. The group phase starts at the end of November and contains six matchdays.

There is no CAF Champions League group table for Simba yet because the club is still in the preliminary rounds. At this stage, the relevant “standings” information is Simba’s position in the qualification path rather than points in a league table.

If Simba reach the group stage, the same competition path changes from knockout qualification to a four-team group table with points, goal difference and six matchdays. CAF has scheduled the group-stage matchdays for late November 2026 through January 2027.

Steve Barker’s current first-team group combines experienced Tanzanian players with internationals from across Africa. The names below are a current squad overview based on recent first-team listings and the players involved around Simba’s 2026/27 campaign; matchday selections can change by fixture.

Clatous Chama, Libasse Gueye, Anicet Oura, Keletso Makgalwa and Morice Abraham have already scored for Simba in the current CAF Champions League campaign. Alassane Kanté is not included in this current overview after Simba announced his departure by mutual agreement in late August.

After two qualifying matches, Simba have scored seven goals and conceded one. Their current CAF record is two wins from two matches, with five different players already on the scoresheet.

Simba have a long history in Africa’s leading club competition. CAF records the club’s best finish in the continent’s premier competition as the 1974 semi-finals, when the tournament was played as the African Cup of Champions Clubs.

In the modern CAF Champions League era, Simba have repeatedly returned to the knockout stages and reached the 2023/24 quarter-finals, where they faced Al Ahly. The club also competed in the 2025/26 group stage before beginning another qualification run in 2026/27.

That history makes the current preliminary rounds more than isolated qualifying matches: each tie determines whether Simba can return to the group stage and build another deep continental campaign.
