Founded in 1936, the club, which broke away from another giant football team in Tanzania, Dar Young Africans was first named Queens, in honour of her Majesty, the Queen of England. The Club had several name changes from Queens to Eagles, then, Sunderland. In 1971 they have renamed Simba (Swahili for "Lion").
Simba plays their home games at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium. In 2022, Simba was the fastest-growing Instagram account among football clubs, with 1.9 million followers and a growth of 89% from the previous year.[1]
The club is one of the richest in East Africa, with a total budget of Sh 6.1 Billion (equivalent to $5.3 million) unveiled for the 2019/2020 season.[2]
The highest continental success that Simba achieved reaching the final of the CAF Cup in 1993, when they lost to Stella Club of Côte d'Ivoire. It was the highest continental achievement by a Tanzanian team to date. In 2003 Simba beat the then-reigning champions Zamalek of Egypt in the CAF Champions League second round of qualifiers to qualify to the group stages, after having beat Santos of South Africa in the first round.
