Magufuli: TFF suspend Tanzania Mainland League to mourn fallen leader

Football in Tanzania has been suspended for two weeks to mourn the late President John Pombe Magufuli who died on Wednesday night.

The leader, according to his Vice-President Samia Suluhu, succumbed to heart conditions at a hospital in Dar es Salaam on March 17. He won re-election into the office for a second five-year term during the October 2020 general elections.

It is for this reason the Federation has opted to suspend the games in honouring the fallen president.
