Coronavirus: TPLB to stick with directive on ban after extension – Kasongo

The Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) has stated they will only resume the Mainland Premier League after they receive clearance from the government.

TPLB CEO Almas Kasongo has stated they will continue to honour the government’s directive not to resume sports activities until the Covid-19 pandemic is totally curbed.

Initially, the government ordered a one-month break to all sports activities as one measure to contain the spread of the coronavirus, but that period has since been extended until further notice.
