Young Africans SC - President

Today, I serve as the President of Young Africans Sports Club (YANGA), one of the most historic and successful football clubs on the African continent. Since taking on this responsibility, I've had the privilege of leading the team through a period of great success—winning three straight Tanzania Premier League titles (2021–2024), reaching the CAF Confederation Cup final in 2023, and making it to the CAF Champions League quarterfinals in 2024.

My vision for YANGA has always gone beyond just winning trophies. Together with an incredible team, we've focused on transforming the club from the inside out—modernizing our systems, strengthening governance, and building a brand that reflects both heritage and ambition.

I believe in the power of young people and have trusted youth to lead in key areas, especially in driving our digital transformation. From embracing data-driven strategies to expanding our online platforms, we've positioned YANGA as not only a competitive team, but one of the most forward-thinking and professionally managed clubs in African football.

Beyond my role at YANGA, I currently serve as the inaugural Chairman of the African Club Association (ACA), a newly established branch of CAF dedicated to representing and advancing the interests of football clubs across the continent.

African Club Association - Chairman

In 2023, I was selected to be the first-ever Chairman of the African Club Association (ACA), a newly formed organization under CAF (Confederation of African Football). This body was created to represent and fight for the rights and needs of football clubs across the African continent.

Through this role, I work closely with club leaders from every part of Africa to push for fairer policies, better business opportunities for clubs, and stronger governance. Our goal is clear — to lift African club football to the same standards seen globally and ensure clubs are respected, well-managed, and financially strong.

I'm also part of the CAF Executive Committee, where I help shape the broader direction of football in Africa—making sure clubs have a real voice at the table.
