Club History
Mtibwa Sugar Sports Club which is located in Mvomero district about 100
kms from Morogoro region, was formed in 1988 by a group of workers of
Mtibwa Sugar Estates Ltd who decided to form a football team which will
take part in league competitions in district level.
The team started playing in 4th division league in 1989 and steadily climbed
up the ladder of success which saw the team finally getting a promotion to
first division league in 1996. The league was restructured in 1998 and
became Premier League Division.
Mtibwa Sugar which is currently coached by former national team player
and coach, the legendary Abdallah Kibaden ‘King’, reigns second in the
ongoing premier league with 23 points, one point behind the leaders
Tanzania Prisons FC.
Club Leadership
Mtibwa Sugar is one of the very few clubs in the country which enjoys consistent harmony and stability. Unlike most other premier league clubs, Mtibwa Sugar has very sound, visionary and transparent leadership which ensures the team always reaches heights of success.
Club Vision and Mission
Our vision is to be the strongest and most successful team in the East and Central Africa region and the continent as a whole. Our mission is to ensure our team gets comprehensive training and advanced coaching tactics and techniques to enable the team achieve our vision. Likewise we aim at scouting talented youth players and train them to achieve highest peak of performance with emphasis always being on self and team discipline.
Team Success
Since privatization of Mtibwa Sugar Estates Limited in late 1998, the club has achieved remarkable results and has earned a reputation of an emerging giant. Playing under the new management, the team managed to become the only third team from upcountry to lift the national championship trophy in 1999 and in the following season managed to become the first and todate the only upcountry club to win the national championship in two consecutive seasons.
