Selemani Mwalimu Abdallah (born 19 January 2006) is a Tanzanian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Simba, on loan from Botola Pro club Wydad AC, and the Tanzania national team.[2]
As a youth, Mwalimu played for FGA Talents FC of the Tanzanian Championship League. He then joined Singida Black Stars FC on a 3.5-year deal in 2023. He was then loaned to KVZ S.C. of the Zanzibar Premier League for the 2023–24 season. He went on to appear in twenty-seven of the club's thirty matches. He tallied twenty goals and seven assists to become the league's top scorer that year.[3] While on loan at Fountain Gate for the 2024–25 season, Mwalimu took an early lead in the golden boot race, scoring four goals in the first six matches.[4] After reaching five goals in seven matches by the end of the month, he was named the league's top player for September 2024.[5]
In February 2025, it was announced that Mwalimu had joined Wydad AC of Morocco's Botola from Fountain Gate where he was on loan. He initially caught the attention of Wydad manager Rulani Mokwena during the player's season with KVZ.[6][7] He joined the club reportedly for a transfer fee of TSh 891,000,00 on a four-and-a-half-year contract worth TSh 6,000,000 per month plus bonuses.[8]
