The Premier League has started with a bang, despite Yanga not playing, they ranks 11th in the league standings
Yesterday there was an incident of its kind for the Kitayosce Fc club to face Azam Fc with eight players on the field after other players were banned because it was explained that they did not have the qualifications to play in the premier league this season
It was a game in which Kitayosce could have scored any number of goals if two of its players were not injured and therefore the game would not continue in accordance with the rule that states that each team must have at least seven players on the field
Some stakeholders have questioned the need for the game to be played yesterday due to what happened to Kitayosce (Tabora United), which was banned from registering by FIFA and later the sentence was revoked after settling with the players who were demanding the team
Last season there was a team whose matches were postponed because they were late to return pre-season from Dubai
In other words, the team went to pre-season while the league was going on and when they were late, their matches were moved forward
Also not forgotten is the same team one season back, its match against Kagera Sugar was postponed because 16 of its players were sick!
And the information explained that the team has seven players left, so its match was postponed. But yesterday Kitayosce were told that they must enter the field because their number meets the criteria. If Kitayosce asked for the match to be postponed, it should be wise to use it as it was used for others in the past
Yesterday there was a high probability that the top scorer of the NBC premier league 2023/24 would be available!
Because it is clear that Azam Fc players would compete to score as many goals as they can because they had no opposition from their opponents who were seven in the field and the eighth goalkeeper
We have to protect the value of our league by not allowing petty shame and humiliation. Get a picture if Kitayosce scored 30 goals and we would still be playing, is our league the best?
