The management of Benjamin Mkapa Stadium has reassured Tanzanians that the Mainland Premier League derby pitting rivals Young Africans (Yanga SC) and Simba SC will be staged at the venue.
This comes a few days after the Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) moved to shift league matches from the national stadium to the adjacent Uhuru Stadium.
However, the stadium’s manager Godwin Nsajigwa has now clarified that the derby scheduled for November 7 will be played at the venue.
