TFF to receive Sh11.5bn from Fifa

What you need to know:

  • World soccer governing body had stopped funding the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) due to unretired funds

Arusha. The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) is expecting to receive $5 million (Sh11.5 billion) for football development, it has been revealed.

TFF president Wallace Karia told the body’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC) on February 2 that the funding stalemate with Fifa had been resolved.

Fifa stopped funding the association due to unretired funds, which had been donated to the body under the previous TFF leadership.

"Fifa was supposed to provide $3 million (Sh6.9 billion), but it has decided to add $2 million (Sh4.6 billion) for football development,” said Karia.

One of the projects to be done is the reconstruction of the Karume Memorial Stadium.
