It is about two weeks and several days left until the second round Kariakoo Derby game between Yanga and Simba
The match will be played at Benjamin Mkapa stadium on March 08. You can say this is a decisive match towards the championship of the main league this season
Yanga has planned to defend the title for the fourth season, but in order to achieve that, the people must win the game
Abandon the match itself, there is uncertainty about the referees who will be assigned to play the game
This season two Kariakoo Derby matches have already been played, played by Elly Sassie (Community Shield) and Ramadhani Kayoko (first round)
However, those matches seemed to heal the referees as they are not often seen playing major league matches again
The best referee in Tanzania at the moment, Ahmed Arajiga, is the one who seems to meet all the criteria to play the game, but he seems to be given matches involving the Yanga club and others but not Simba! It's like Simba have boycotted the referee to play their matches and they have been heard!
The league board will have to be careful in the selection of referees to manage the game, and if there is a need, it is not a sin to go abroad to take 'neutral' referees who will not have a side
Egypt has had the procedure of taking referees from abroad to play the match between Al Ahly and Zamalek, the aim being to avoid favoritism and 'tightening'
With the type of referees we have, and considering the pressure of the game, there is probably a need to follow the Egyptian procedure
