In July 2017, Ingwe defeated Yanga SC 4-2 on post-match penalties after a 0-0 draw in a Sportpesa Super Cup semi-final tie in Dar es Salaam.

Leopards will open the KPL 2019/20 season with a match against Kakamega Homeboyz on September 1 at Bukhungu Stadium.

Yanga SC have already started their season assignments and were held to a 1-1 draw by Botswana champions Township Rollers on August 10 in a Caf Champions League preliminary round match.
