Mainland Premier League: TFF urged not to adjust number of teams

Former Taifa Stars goal keeper Ivo Mapunda calls on the organisers to work on ways of improving the league instead of adjusting tje number of teams

Several stakeholders have urged the Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) to avoid adjusting the number of teams taking part in the Mainland Premier League next season.

Instead, the stakeholders have called upon the league organisers to come up with good measures to run the league other than keep on adjusting the number of competing teams.

From next season, the current number of 20 teams trading in the top-flight will be trimmed to 18, meaning four teams will directly be relegated, while the fate of the other two teams will be decided during play-offs.
