Tanzania government changes tune, wants league to resume on home and away basis

The Tanzania government have now scrapped their earlier proposal to stage Mainland Premier League matches in two centres.

The government in conjunction with Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) had already picked Mwanza and Dar es Salaam to stage the remaining rounds of matches.

However, with the league set to return on June 13 after it was halted in mid-March owing to the coronavirus pandemic, the government has now changed their tune and asked TFF to make sure that all matches are played on a home and away format.
