Tanzanian football powerhouse Young Africans SC has signed a landmark partnership agreement with GSM Group to construct a modern 20,000-seat football stadium in Dar es Salaam.
The agreement, signed on May 15, marks a major milestone in Tanzania’s sports sector and reflects Yanga’s growing commercial strength. Under the deal, Yanga will provide the land while GSM Group finances the construction, with both parties sharing ownership of the project equally.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, Yanga President Hersi Said said the project fulfils a dream that the club has pursued for nearly 90 years.
The stadium is expected to be completed within 18 to 24 months and will include modern football facilities meeting international standards. Officials and football stakeholders have described the project as a transformative step for Tanzanian football infrastructure and sports business development.
