Morogoro — Rwandan giants APR head coach Erinie Brandts has expressed his disappointment over a decision by the TFF that his team should play their Kagame Castle Cup group stage matches here. Brandts said here yesterday that Morogoro’s Jamhuri Stadium was not suitable for the Kagame Cup champions.
“Jamhuri Stadium lacks some important amenities. Thus it’s unfair for the TFF to make it a venue for our group stage matches because we are the defending champions,” he said.
Brandts claimed that the Morogoro venue would affect his team’s performance in the regional tournament, which rolls into its third day today. Djibouti Port coach Mohamed Ahmed, whose team crashed to a painful 4-0 to APR in their first match on Sunday, had similar views.
He blamed the embarrassing defeat on what he claimed as ‘bumpy’ pitch, saying it forced his team to play below standard.
