The federation stated the change was made because of a rescheduling programme from the Ministry of Sports and the relevant authorities.
However, the changes did not go down well with the Jangwani giants, who immediately issued a statement saying they will not honour the fixture by stating: “The Yanga management is disappointed with the pushing forward of the game against Simba from 5 pm to 7 pm.
“The changes are against the rules; article 15 (10) of the rules governing the game in the country states any changes regarding the kick-off should be communicated to both teams 24 hours earlier.
“Yanga management will not agree on the kick-off time communicated and will honour the initial time, 5 pm. The management has further challenged the TFF to run the league in accordance with the set rules and guidelines.”
