The former Taifa Stars custodian explains how his rivalry to don the number one jersey made them great keepers in Tanzania
Former Tanzania custodian Ivo Mapunda has claimed his fight for the number one spot with Juma Kaseja propelled them to be among the best shot-stoppers in the country.
The duo played together for the national team at one point in their professional careers with both being good at saving penalties, a quality which made them popular among sports fans.
Mapunda has revealed there was big competition for the goalkeeping position at the Taifa Stars during coach Marcio Maximo's era between him and Kaseja, insisting the situation made them work harder.
