Their home games are played at two stadiums, Uhuru Stadium and National Stadium.
Simba SC is one of the two biggest football clubs in Tanzania, their arch-rivals being the Young Africans.
Lion cubs often have a dillema of which club to support.
The club had several names during its history.
When it was founded in 1936, the Club was called Red, it was later changed to Eagles and Dar Sunderland, and in 1971 changed to its current name, Simba (which means Lion in Swahili).The highest level of success that Simba SC achieved was getting to the final of the CAF Cup in 1993, when they lost to Stella Club of Côte d'Ivoire.
It was the highest achievement on continental competitions reached by any Tanzanian team.
One of the most memorable years for the club was 2003 when it knocked off the then-reigning CAF champions Zamalek of Egypt on their way to qualify for the group stages of the CAF Champions League.
In the first round of that year's competition, Simba SC eliminated Santos of South Africa.Tanzanian Premier League: 181965, 1966 (as Sunderland)1972, 1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1993, 1994, 1995, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2009–10, 2011–12Tanzanian Cup: 31984, 1995, 2000Tanzanian Tusker Cup: 52001, 2002, 2003, 20052005 (in Kenya)CAF Cup: 0Finalist: 1993CECAFA Clubs Cup: 6'1974, 1991, 1992, 1995, 1996, 2002Performance in CAF competitions[edit]CAF Champions League: 6 appearances2002 – First Round2003 – Group Stage2004 – First Round2005 – First Round2008 – First Round2011 – Special play-off for Group StageAfrican Cup of Champions Clubs: 8 appearances1974 – Semi-finalsThe furthest any Tanzanian team has ever reached in African premier competition, eliminated in the semi-finals by Egyptian club Ghazl Al-Mehalla, in this period, the chairman was late Abubakar Mwilima, himself a renowned trade unionist, educationist and politician who served in Julius Nyerere's government in different capacities.1976 – Second Round1977 – Second Round1978 – Second Round1979 – Second Round1980 – Second Round1981 – First Round1995 – Second RoundCAF Confederation Cup: 4 appearances2007 – Preliminary Round2010 – First Round of 162011 – Second Round of 162012 – Second Round of 16CAF Cup: 2 appearances1993 – Finalist1997 – First RoundCAF Cup Winners' Cup: 3 appearances1985 – Second Round1996 – Second Round2001 – Second RoundSimba Sc Professional AppTuna waletea App Hii Iliyo Tengenezwa Kwa Kiasi Kikubwa Na UBunifu Wa Hali Ya JuuSimba Sport Club Ina Waletea Mechi Za LIve NYumbaniUgeniniNje Ya Nchi
