Mwakyembe: Government reaches out to TBC to stream live league matches

The government of Tanzania has reached out to the state broadcaster Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation (TBC) to stream live matches for the top-flight and lower leagues when they resume.

According to Tanzania Minister for Information, Culture, Arts, and Sports, Harrison Mwakyembe, the move will help give Tanzanian fans more football entertainment especially for those who will not be able to attend the matches.

The Tanzanian leagues have been given the green light to resume after they were halted in mid-March owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
