Among the contenders include the famous sports analyst and former Young Africans midfielder, Ally Mayay and the incumbent president Wallace Karia.<\/p>\n

Other candidates who have returned forms to vie for federation\u2019s top post include Ally Saleh, Evans Mgeusa, Oscar Oscar and Hawa Mniga. In reference to that shortlist, the Kinondoni constituency Member of Parliament, Abbas Tarimba was not mentioned.<\/p>\n

In the Executive Committee category, the candidates who submitted back their forms are Lameck Nyambaya, Liston Katabazi, Saady Mohammed Khimji, Athuman Kingome Kambi, Hosseah Lugano, Elisony Mweladzi and Jimmy Msindo (for regional zone 1 – Dar es Salaam, Lindi, Morogoro, Mtwara and Coast).

Meanwhile, the former Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) Director of Administration and Membership Mtemi Ramadhani has called on candidates running for federation posts to avoid Simba and Young Africans fanaticism, for the health of football in the country.<\/p>\n

Mtemi said this yesterday when he spoke to the \u2018Daily News\u2019 and explained that many leaders do not focus on the development of football but they put more energy to discuss issues concerning Simba and Yanga.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been closely following up the federation elections and I see most of the candidates putting their interest on agendas concerning Simba and Yanga, rather than football development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
