This year’s Kili Taifa Cup finals will be held at the Sheikh Amri Abeid Memorial Stadium in Arusha, the event’s sponsors Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) revealed on Wednesday.

Kilimanjaro Premium Lager Brand Manager George Kavishe said the tournament will initially be played in 6 zones, comprising of Mwanza, Kilimanjaro, Tabora, Mbeya, Morogoro and Lindi with 4 teams playing in each zone.

He said the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final will move to Arusha because the Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam, which was earlier scheduled to host the tournament, will be closed for renovation.

“We believe these round robin stages will allow teams to play more games, thus exposing individual skills and giving us opportunity to find talent before going to the knock-out stage in Arusha,” he said.

He further said the nationals U- 23 soccer team will also come on board. Over 1.3bn/- will cover the event, Kavishe said.
