Exciting news is shaking up the football scene as Azam FC’s star player, Feisal Salum, has signed a new deal to stay with the Tanzanian club until the 2026/27 season. This move comes despite strong interest from South Africa’s Kaizer Chiefs, making it a surprising and thrilling development for fans!
Affectionately nicknamed "Fei Toto," the talented Zanzibari midfielder has proven his importance to Azam FC. His decision to commit long-term puts an end to rumors of a potential transfer, showcasing his loyalty to the club’s future goals. The news was shared by SoccerBeat, accompanied by a striking image of Salum in his blue Azam FC jersey, proudly wearing the number 6.
Coach Florent Ibenge, who recently took the helm at Azam FC, spoke to FARPost about Salum’s choice. “He didn’t stay because of me; he stayed because he still wanted to be part of the project,” Ibenge said. This reveals that Salum’s passion for the club’s vision, rather than just his coach’s influence, drove his decision. Ibenge, a seasoned figure in African football, brings impressive credentials, including leading DR Congo to third place at the 2015 AFCON and guiding AS Vita to the 2014 CAF Champions League final. His presence could elevate Azam FC to new heights.
Salum’s commitment is a major boost for Azam FC as they strive to compete in both Tanzanian and continental tournaments. The club’s investment in him with this new contract highlights his value to the team. Fans are buzzing with excitement, eager to see how this partnership with Ibenge will shape their performance on the pitch.
For now, Kaizer Chiefs will need to turn their attention elsewhere, while Azam FC supporters rejoice in this victory. With Salum secured until 2027, the future looks bright. Watch closely as this dynamic duo—Salum and Ibenge—works together to push Azam FC toward greater success
