FA Cup: Holders Simba SC handed African Lyon as Namungo set date with Mbeya City

Defending Tanzania FA Cup champions Simba SC have been paired with African Lyon in the round of 32 draw conducted on Tuesday.

Wekundu wa Msimbazi are aiming at successfully retaining the trophy they won last season after defeating Namungo 2-1 in the final. But they will have to get past the second-tier side to ensure they get a chance of achieving their target.

The 2019/20 finalists Namungo will play Tanzania Mainland League strugglers Mbeya City. The latter are currently in the relegation zone after collecting 14 points from the 18 matches played.

League leaders Yanga SC, who were bundled from last year's edition in the semis by their rivals Simba, have a relatively easier task against Kengold FC.
