Ladaki Chasambi Profile, Stats and Career Overview
Ladaki Juma Chasambi was born on Mar 15, 2004 in Tanzania. He is a right winger who can play high and wide, support a centre forward or enter matches as a direct attacking substitute.
Youth international football gave him an early introduction to tournament pressure. His subsequent route through Mtibwa Sugar and Simba has exposed him to domestic league, CAF Confederation Cup and CAF Champions League football before his 23rd birthday.
Career Overview
Ladaki Chasambi emerged as a highly rated Tanzanian attacker through the national youth pathway. His involvement at the 2019 U17 Africa Cup of Nations gave him tournament experience at the age of 15 and placed him among a generation expected to progress into senior domestic football.
Chasambi’s early professional development included Mtibwa Sugar, a club known for providing opportunities to young Tanzanian players. Available records credit him with three appearances, one goal and three assists during the listed 2023/24 period. That platform preceded his move into Simba’s senior squad.
He produced notable attacking numbers in limited minutes during his first Simba season. Four recorded appearances in 2023/24 brought four goals and one assist, including a two-goal performance in May 2024. The following campaign added a goal and four assists across six appearances, with his CAF Confederation Cup involvement giving him further continental exposure.
Chasambi’s 2025/26 opportunities were more restricted. He made three league substitute appearances and one CAF Champions League appearance, totaling 66 minutes. Although the sample was small, it maintained his experience across Tanzania’s top division and Africa’s premier club competition.
At 22, Chasambi remains a developing wide attacker. His challenge is to turn the flashes of end product from his earlier seasons into a sustained first-team role within a Simba squad that carries significant competition for wing places.
