Samatta: How Tanzanian teams can improve and shine in Africa

The Aston Villa striker says top teams from his native country can do wonders in big matches if the local league is upgraded

Tanzania striker Mbwana Samatta has challenged the Mainland Premier League to come up with perfect measures to enable competing clubs to create competitive teams, which can excel in international competitions.

Samatta, who turns out for Aston Villa in the English Premier League, believes the only way for Tanzania to shine at international level is to improve on the domestic league.

“It is evident in our league, only a few teams have the capacity to build competitive squads which can bring a positive impact in the Caf Champions League and Caf Confederation Cup,” Samatta is quoted by Daily News.
