The venue for this year's Tusker Challenge Cup soccer tournament has been
moved again within a week due to various reasons.
The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) announced on Tuesday that the
venue had been moved from Morogoro to Mwanza. The cup tourney was
originally planned to be played in Dar es Salaam.
The venue was first changed late last week due to the fact that the
FIFA-sponsored artificial turf had got stuck in the port clearance
process and therefore could not be fitted in the National Stadium in Dar
es Salaam for the start of the tourney.
The venue was changed again this week due to the poor turnout of
spectators at the Jamhuri Stadium in Morogoro during the Tanzania
Mini-League Tournament.
TFF Secretary-General Fredrick Mwakalebela confirmed to the local press
that the TFF and the tournament sponsors had finally decided to move the
tourney to Mwanza where Tanzania's games in the 2008 African Cup of
Nations qualifiers had been played.
The six-team tourney will now be play at the CCM Kirumba Stadium in
Mwanza.
This year's Tanzania Mini-League titlists Simba SC are drawn into Group A
along with Tusker of Kenya and defending champions Kagera Sugar of
Tanzania.
Mini-League runners-up Young Africans play SC Villa of Uganda and Mtibwa
Sugar of Tanzania in Group B.
But Wednesday's edition of the ThisDay newspaper reported that Simba SC
might pull out of the cup tourney due to sponsoring differences with the
main sponsors of the tourney.
