TPLB 'ready to move on' after Vodacom exit - Kasongo

The Telco ended the partnership with Tanzania's league owing to financial challenges experienced, especially in 2020/21

The Tanzania Premier League Board has revealed they are ready to move on after the exit of Vodacom as the Mainland Premier League sponsors.

After a long association, the telecommunications firm ended its relationship with Tanzania's top flight due to financial difficulties.

A Tsh30 billion loss in the last financial year is the main reason why they ended the contract - which would have come to an end at the end of last season - early.

Vodacom were to disburse Tsh9 billion - Tsh3 billion each season - to the league, but a huge loss made in the 2020/21 financial year is all that brought to an end a three-year deal that was signed in 2019.
