Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has officially announced that the general elections for the Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) will take place on November 29, 2025, in Dar es Salaam.
The announcement was made by TFF Election Committee Vice-Chairman, Advocate Benjamini Kalume, who confirmed that the full election schedule has been finalized and urged all eligible candidates and stakeholders to prepare for the process.
The nomination process will run from tomorrow to October 6, 2025. Positions up for election include chairman, vice-chairman, and representatives from various leagues: three from the Mainland Premier League, two from the Championship League, and one from the First League.
Nomination fees are set at Sh200, 000 for candidates vying for the Chairman and Vice-Chairman positions, while other board member candidates are required to pay Sh100, 000.
Advocate Kalume clarified that candidates for the top leadership roles must currently hold positions as Chairman or Vice-Chairman in their respective clubs, ensuring that league leadership is composed of individuals with direct experience in team and competition management.
The election timeline has been carefully scheduled to ensure transparency. A preliminary screening of all candidates will take place from October 7 to 9, followed by a period from October 12 to 14 for appeals against approved or disqualified candidates. Candidate interviews are scheduled for October 18 and 19, while the official campaign period will run from October 23 to 28.
Advocate Kalume stressed that the TFF Election Committee is committed to conducting elections that are free, fair, and transparent, involving all key football stakeholders. He urged club leaders and stakeholders to maintain professionalism and avoid any actions that could compromise the integrity of the process.
The upcoming elections come after the resignation of former TPLB Chairman, Steven Mguto, in June 2025. Since then, the board has been under the leadership of Acting Chairman Nassoro Idrissa, who will oversee the transition to the newly elected board.
