Cecafa Women's Championship earns Tanzania credit in world football - Karia

The federation now says the recent hosting of the women's competition has raised the country's profile

The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has described the just concluded 2019 Cecafa Women's Championship as a big success.

Tanzania hosted the tournament at Azam Complex in Chamazi, Dar es Salaam which brought together eight nations battling for glory but in the end, Kenyan side Harambee Starlets emerged overall winners after a 2-0 triumph over the hosts Kilimanjaro Queens in the final.

The home side failed to post a hat-trick of wins of this silverware despite having a big advantage of embracing its own territory backed up by huge morale from the home fans, who flooded the venue in big numbers.
