We can include Fatuma Issa, who plays for the national women\u2019s football team with a \u2018hijab\u2019 on her head, as a role model to alert people that women can play football and still be respectable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In another development, Jabir noted that they are relocating the ZFF office to a new place to pave the way for the ongoing renovation of Amani Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>He further pointed out that they will work alongside the government under President Hussein Mwinyi\u2019s visionary leadership to improve sports infrastructures in the Isles to benefit each sport discipline.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are also going to make sure that the league board and competition committee amend football guidelines to clear challenges spotted last season so that they should not resurface in the upcoming campaign,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
