Caf Confederation Cup: Why Namungo FC vs Nkana FC kick-off was delayed - TFF's Ndimbo

Tanzania Football Federation media liaison Clifford Ndimbo has explained why the Namungo FC vs Nkana FC Caf Confederation Cup tie was delayed.

The match had to be played one hour later than scheduled and the federation's communication officer has confirmed the delay was brought about by the Covid-19 tests programmes which the Zambian side took late.

Diamond Chikwekwe scored the only goal in the game that condemned winless Namungo to yet another loss.

"What happened is Nkana did not take the Covid-19 tests early and that means the clearance certificates had to delay too," Ndimbo told reporters after the game.
