Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has visited Pacôme Zouzoua in hospital after the Young Africans S.C. winger suffered a serious injury during the final match of the Tanzanian Premier League season.

The incident occurred on 30 June 2026 when Yanga SC faced JKT Tanzania in their final league fixture. Zouzoua sustained a severe injury in the 46th minute, forcing him to leave the pitch and receive immediate medical attention before being transferred to Aga Khan University Hospital.

Following successful surgery, President Samia Suluhu Hassan paid a personal visit to the Ivorian forward, offering words of encouragement and wishing him a speedy recovery. Her visit has been widely praised by football fans across Tanzania as a gesture of solidarity with one of the country's top league players.

Medical reports indicate that Zouzoua will spend at least six weeks away from football before undergoing another assessment to determine whether he can begin rehabilitation and eventually return to training.

The injury is a significant setback for both the player and Yanga SC, where Zouzoua has established himself as one of the club's key attacking players since joining from ASEC Mimosas in 2023.

During his time with Yanga SC, the 26-year-old has helped the club win multiple domestic trophies, including three Tanzanian Premier League titles, earning admiration for his pace, creativity, and goal-scoring ability.

As Zouzoua begins his recovery, supporters of Yanga SC and football fans across East Africa will be hoping to see him return to the pitch stronger than ever.
