Aziz Ki returns to Yanga and targets Champions League glory

Burkinabe forward Aziz Ki says he is delighted to be back at Young Africans SC, describing the Tanzanian club as his “home” and promising to fight alongside his team-mates for success in the CAF Champions League.

Ki has returned to Yanga after a period away from the club, and his reunion with the Tanzanian giants has been greeted with excitement by supporters.

The attacker made it clear that his connection with the club remains strong, saying he feels at home in the famous green and yellow colours.

“I’m proud to be back. This is my home, my safe place,” Ki said.

“I’m happy to be back again and wear the green and yellow shirt. You are my family.”

Ki’s return comes with the club preparing for another demanding campaign on the domestic and continental fronts.

The Burkinabe forward has set his sights particularly high in Africa, expressing his determination to help Yanga make a deep run in the Champions League.

“We will fight together and go all the way in the Champions League,” he added.

His comments underline the ambition surrounding Yanga as the club prepares to compete for major honours. Ki’s familiarity with the club and its supporters could also prove valuable as the team seeks to build a squad capable of challenging at the highest level of African club football.

For the player, however, the return is about more than football. His description of Yanga as his “home” and “safe place” highlights the strong bond he has developed with the club and its supporters.

With Ki back in green and yellow, Yanga will hope his return can provide an additional boost as they begin their pursuit of Champions League success.
