Tanzania coach Etienne Ndayiragije says he will not support the decision by the government to push for the reduction of foreign players in the Mainland Premier League.
A week ago, Tanzania Minister for Information, Culture, Arts, and Sports, Dr. Harrison Mwakyembe, suggested the top-flight should reduce the number of foreign players saying the move will help strengthen the Taifa Stars.
However, Ndayiragije has disagreed with the suggestions, saying he does not see any reason to approve that regulation.
