As the board, we have three official sponsors who support our day to day requirements on how to smoothly run the leagues. \u201cBut at the same time, you can see that there are few clubs with their own reliable sponsors as such, the ratio of income generation differs from expenditure bearing in mind that such clubs spend more than what they get,\u201d noted Kasongo.<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cThis is why we are pushing for club licensing so that clubs should be able to spend basing on what they produce and if this will be achieved, then the problems of seeing teams spending much than what they make will be addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He therefore hoped that this year, more sponsors will come aboard to render the necessary support needed to properly manage football while urging clubs to be on the forefront in searching for their own potential financiers.<\/p>\n<p>Queried to give his assessment on the part of referees which has been the mostly criticised area as far as the country\u2019s football is concerned, Kasongo replied that until technology advancement is embraced, the errors of referees will be minimised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can see that our colleagues in developed countries have moved away from the stage of 100 per cent depending on referees by creating a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) which is helping them a lot to give clear and fair judgement. \u201cRecently, I was going through a research conducted in the English Premier League (EPL) which showed that in every EPL match, there are five human errors done by referees but they have excelled to solve such challenges due to the availability of VAR,\u201d disclosed Kasongo.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the main setback when it comes to refereeing in the country is lack of helpful technology like VAR and goal line technology of which he described as a healing dose for human errors conducted by referees during matches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that our referees try their best to control well the game by following the 17 guidelines in football but with the lack of technology, their human errors will continue to be seen until we embrace VAR,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things which TPLB fought for last year was the issue of ensuring that league hosting venues have standard pitches to entertain smooth flow of the ball hence those arenas which did not meet such qualities were temporarily suspended until upgraded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
