“Tomorrow we will start a tree planting campaign in Dar es Salaam, Pwani, and Chato as it commemorates the death of the President of the Fifth Phase of the United Republic of Tanzania Dr. John Pombe Magufuli as well as the start of the football league that will be managed by the Federation of Tanzania Football (TFF)” Said Dr. Kiss”

For his part, TFF representative Ally Ruvu has asked the participants of the competition to ensure that they follow the required procedures, namely the 17 rules of football, as well as show their talents because football is a job.
