Meanwhile, Serengeti Boys head coach Bakari Shime has called on the Tanzania Football Federation to halt plans of camping outside the country at least until after the first leg match.
“I don’t see why the team should pitch a camp abroad while the first leg of the next round will be played at home. We have to camp here,”he said yesterday.
