To confirm their seriousness ahead of the game, Simba formed a rallying call by coining ‘Total War in Dar’ as their slogan on Friday. “The last time we met here in Dar es Salaam we defeated Al Ahly 1-0 in 2019 and our slogan then was 'Yes, we can',” Simba spokesman Haji Manara told reporters on Friday. “Before the last game [vs FC Platinum] we said 'War in Dar' a war that was fought in 90 minutes, it was a war of blood and sweat and we emerged victors. “This time around the clarion call is 'Total War in Dar'. Al Ahly are a big team but we are at a point of no return. We must fight them and we must win.”
