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.”

UDSM seeks to produce qualified match analysts
THE Department of Physical Education and Sports Sciences of the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) is committed to producing well-trained and qualified match analysts in the country.
University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) s lecturer, Jonas Tiboroha.
One of the department s senior lecturers, Jonas Tiboroha, stated in an interview that the country has very few qualified match analysts and the institution is training many match analysts who will help in the development of sports in the country.
He said the majority of local match analysts lack scientific experience and data to back their analysis.
Honestly, as a coach, it makes it even difficult to talk about this match. The game was played outside and it was very difficult for us especially when it was delayed for almost one hour, Kaindu told reporters at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium after the game . We had all the Covid-19 results but they kept coming in batches and I do not know how many in the starting line up we had to change. At one time we had 11 players with two goalkeepers which made it very difficult for us. Honestly speaking, we are not the first club that has complained about the reception in Tanzania. I think all the teams that have been coming have been complaining and we want to see what kind of a report is going to be given to Caf.
The rules are clear that one cannot be granted access to the competition s area that includes the dressing room without a clearance certificate that shows one is Covid-19 negative. Having a mask is also part of the Caf regulations. Given that Nkana took the tests late meant the kick-off had to be rescheduled altogether. All in all, we had constant communication with Caf concerning the issues that emerged.
Nkana ended up winning the match even though they had to train for over 40 minutes in the parking lot prior to the match.
Nevertheless, the Red Devils midfielder Misheck Chaila was elated about the victory even though they encountered a number of challenges before the game started.
