Break-away plan for local clubs

By GILBERT WANDERA
Fed-up with the poor management of the Nationwide division one league, clubs featuring in this competition are considering breaking away from Football Kenya Limited (FKL).
The clubs are contemplating formation of a private company to manage the competition or even force the local association to cede control of the league to the Kenyan Premier League (KPL).
However, efforts by majority of the 16 Nationwide league clubs to break away have been largely done underground for fear of antagonising FKL and reprisals. The efforts have redoubled over the past two weeks following the suspect manner in which Kenya Ports Authority football team Bandari was promoted to the KPL next season and also the manner in which Mathare Youth were relegated from the Nationwide.

Last Friday, more than ten clubs attended a meeting during which the idea of forming a private company to run the league was mooted.
The meeting formed the initial consultative forum and another one is also expected to be held this week during which they expect to indulge all the leading football stakeholders in the country.
Among the issues discussed at the meeting is poor management of the league, suspect officiating, alleged match-fixing and continuous tampering with match fixtures.
During the meeting FKL were accused of favouritism especially in regard to the two teams that have been promoted to the KPL next season.
The two teams Bandari and Congo United that have been promoted to KPL were alleged to have received preferential treatment from FKL.
"One way of stopping this mismanagement is to form a conclave that will sit periodically to discuss issues that affect the competition. Clubs will be represented by three representatives," said a dispatch from Kennedy Onyonyi on behalf of the clubs.
He said they would continuously engage KPL with the aim of learning from them on how to run a professional league.
"Our clubs hope that the same benchmark set by the KPL can ultimately be replicated in the Nationwide league," he added. The clubs are also demanding that KPL liase with world football governing body Fifa to audit the just-concluded Nationwide league so as to ensure integrity of the promoted teams.
The statement by the clubs came even as Mathare Youth announced they would seek arbitration in the highest office if FKL does not rescind the decision to relegate them.
FKL should be worried by the new found unity of lower league clubs considering that this is how KPL came into being.

Kili Stars yaipandisha Tanzania viwango Fifa
Wednesday, 15 December 2010 21:27

Kilimanjaro Stars

Mwandishi Wetu TANZANIA imepanda chati kwa nafasi nane katika viwango vya ubora wa soka kwa mujibu wa Shirikisho la Soka la Kimataifa, Fifa vilivyotangazwa jana.

Matokeo mazuri ya Kilimanjaro Stars iliyotwaa Kombe la Chalenji Jumapili kwa kuilaza Ivory Coast kwa bao 1-0 na ushindi wa mikwaju ya penalti 5-4 dhidi ya The Cranes ya Uganda baada ya suluhu ya 0-0 kwenye nusu fainali ya michuano hiyo, ni sababu za kupanda kwake na kushika nafasi ya 116 kwa ubora duniani ikitokea nafasi ya 124 mwezi uliopita.

Kulingana na orodha hiyo iliyotangazwa jana na Fifa , Uganda ambayo bado ni kinara wa soka kwa Ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki na Kati ingawa imeporomoka kwa nafasi 11.

Kwa mujibu wa orodha hiyo ya Fifa, Tanzania imepanda katika viwango hivyo vipya baada ya kufanya vizuri katika mashindano ya Chalenji ambayo yanatambuliwa na Fifa kama mechi za kirafiki za kimataifa.

Katika mashindano hayo ya Chalenji , Kili Stars yaTanzania Bara ilizifunga Rwanda 1-0, Burundi 2-0, Somalia 3-0, Uganda 5-4 kwa penalti na Kenya 1-0 wakati wa maandalizi ya mashindano hayo.

Kwa kupanda kwa nafasi nane Tanzania inashika nafasi ya pili katika Ukanda wa Afrika Mashariki na Kati huku ikizidiwa na Uganda ambayo inashika nafasi ya 80 katika viwango vipya vya Fifa ikiwa imeshuka kwa nafasi 11.

Kenya inashika nafasi ya 120 ikiwa imeshuka kwa nafasi nne, hivyo kuwa ya tatu katika ukanda huo wa Afrika ya Mashariki ikifuatiwa na Burundi katika nafasi ya 128 ambayo imepanda kwa nafasi nane na Rwanda katika nafasi ya 132 ambayo imeshuka kwa nafasi tano.

Orodha hiyo pia inaonyesha nchi za Afrika ya Magharibi na Kaskazini zimeendelea kufanya vizuri kuzidi nchi za Afrika ya Mashariki na nchi za Kusini mwa Afrika.

Nigeria ambayo timu yake ya wanawake ilitwaa ubingwa barani humo inashika nafasi ya 32, Algeria ipo nafasi ya 35, Cameroon nafasi ya 37, Gabon nafasi ya 39, Tunisia ni ya 45, Guinea nafasi ya 46, wakati Afrika Kusini ipo nafasi ya 51, Botswana nafasi ya 53, Zambia 76, Malawi 86 na Angola 88.

TP Mazembe yaweka rekodi, yatinga fainali Kombe la Dunia


ABU DHAB, Falme za Kiarabu

MABINGWA wa Afrika, TP Mazembe kutoka Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasi ya Congo (DRC), wamefuzu fainali ya Kombe la Klabu Bingwa Duniani baada ya kuwafunga mabingwa wa Amerika ya kusini, Internacional kutoka Brazili mabao 2-0 mjini
Abu Dhabi.

TP Mazembe inakuwa klabu ya kwanza barani Afrika kufikia hatua ya fainali ya Kombe la Dunia, inasubiri kucheza fainali dhidi ya mshindi kati ya mabingwa wa Ulaya, Inter Milan ya Italia na mabingwa wa Asia, Seongnam IIhwa kutoka Korea Kusini, ambazo zilitarajiwa kuchuana jana katika nusu fainali ya pili ambapo fainali hiyo itafanyika Jumamosi ijayo.

Bao la kwanza la TP Mazembe, lilifungwa dakika ya 53 na Mulota Kabangu, naye Dioko Kaluyituka akafunga la pili dakika ya 85.

Internacional walipata nafasi nyingi katika kipindi cha kwanza, lakini ngome kali ya ulinzi ya TP Mazembe ambayo ilizuia mashambulizi yote, huku pia mlinda mlango Muteba Kidiaba, akiokoa mikwaju mingi.

Mbali na kuwa timu ya kwanza kutoka Afrika kutinga hatua hiyo, vilevile TP Mazembe inakuwa timu ya kwanza kutoka nje ya Ulaya na Amerika Kusini, kufika mbali katika mashindano hayo.

"Tupo hapa kuiwakilisha Afrika na Waafrika wote, tunapaswa kujivunia kazi yetu," alisema kocha wa TP Mazembe, Msenegal, Lamine N'Diaye.
"Ni siku ya furaha kwetu na vilevile ni siku ya kujidai tumefanikiwa na tumeomesha kuwa, wachezaji wetu wapo katika kiwango cha hali ya juu," aliongeza.Awali, ilionekana kama itakuwa miujiza kwa timu hiyo kusonga mbele kutokana na kuanza vibaya kipindi cha kwanza, huku kipa Kidiaba akionekana kusimama kidete na kujiamini kuwapunguza makali Internacional.

Pamoja na uoga, mbali na jitihada binafsi za mchezaji, Kaluyituka timu hiyo kutoka DRC, kipindi cha kwanza ilishindwa kutengeneza nafasi nyingi, lakini mchezo ulipokuwa ukiendelea, TP Mazembe walianza kujiamini na kufanya mashambulizi pamoja na kujilinda.Kuongeza kwa kujiamini kulionekana wakati mchezaji Kabangu, alipopokea pande safi akiwa nje ya eneo la hatari na kutuliza vyema mpira huo, kisha kuachia mkwaju pembeni mwa goli na kumuacha kipa wa Internacional, Renan, akiwa ameduwaa.

Mabadiliko ya kuwatoa wachezaji wawili, Tinga na Alecsandro, na kuwaingiza wachezaji chipukizi Giuliano na Damiao, yalionekana kuwapa uhai Internacional, lakini hata hivyo, hawakuweza kupata nafasi ya kusawazisha.

KOCHA mpya wa Azam Stewart Hall ameanza rasmi kazi katika klabu hiyo na kutamba kwamba anataka kucheza Ligi ya Mabingwa mwaka 2012.

Kwa sasa Simba ndio mwakilishi wa Tanzania Bara kwenye michuano hiyo ya Ligi Mabingwa Afrika huku Yanga ikishiriki Kombe la Shirikisho mwakani.

Imekuwa kawaida kwa Simba na Yanga kushiriki michuano hiyo kwa kupokezana, mara chache sana nafasi hizo huchukuliwa na timu nyingine, kama Prisons Mbeya, Moro United na Mtibwa Sugar.

Akizungumza Dar es Salaam jana alipotambulishwa kwa waandishi wa habari Kocha huyo raia wa Uingereza alisema anatoa ahadi kwa mashabiki na wapenzi wa Azam kwamba anataka kufuzu kucheza Ligi ya Mabingwa.

"Najua kuna Simba na Yanga ambazo ni lazima kuzishinda na kupata nafasi hiyo… hilo ndio lengo langu,"alisema Hall ambaye wiki mbili zilizopita aliiongoza timu ya Taifa ya Zanzibar ‘Zanzibar Heroes' kwenye michuano ya Kombe la Chalenji na kuishia hatua ya robo fainali.

Kocha huyo alikuwa Zanzibar kwa takriban miezi minne iliyopita. Akizungumzia kuhusu uwepo wake Zanzibar Hall alisema: "Mimi ni muajiriwa wa Azam kwa sasa lakini bado nitaendelea kushirikiana na ZFA (Chama cha Soka Zanzibar) kumalizia Programu ambazo tulishazianza,"alisema.

Naye Mwenyekiti wa Azam Saidi Mohamed alisema walimpata kocha huyo katika mchakato wa makocha 25 kutoka ndani na nje ya nchi walioomba nafasi hiyo iliyokuwa ikishikiliwa na Mbrazil Itamar Amorin aliyekatisha mkataba wake.

Alisema katika mchujo huo makocha watatu waliingia fainali ambao ni Hall, Steven Keshi wa Nigeria na David Michael kutoka Ujerumani.

"Ndipo uongozi ulipoona tumchukue Hall na kuingia naye mkataba wa mwaka mmoja na nusu na anaanza kazi rasmi leo (jana) na Jumamosi tutacheza mechi ya kirafiki na Yanga,"alisema.

Azam haipo pabaya kwenye msimamo wa Ligi kwani inashika nafasi ya tatu ikiwa na pointi 20. Simba inaongoza kwa pointi 27 na Yanga inashika nafasi ya pili ikiwa na pointi 25.

imba, Yanga zang'ang'ania viwanja vya Dar

Imeandikwa na Mwandishi Wetu; Tarehe: 15th December 2010 @ 08:45
UONGOZI wa timu za soka za Simba na Yanga unatarajiwa kukutana na Serikali ili kufahamu hatima yao ya kutumia viwanja vya Dar es Salaam kwenye ligi na kwenye michuano mbalimbali.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari Dar es Salaam jana, Ofisa Habari wa Yanga, Louis Sendeu ambaye aliongozana na mwenzake wa Simba, Cliford Ndimbo, alisema wamekaa na kutathmini gharama wanayopata kucheza nje ya Dar es Salaam na ndipo walipofikia uamuzi wa kutaka kukutana na serikali kupitia Wizara ya Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo.

"Kati ya kesho (leo) au keshokutwa (kesho) tutakutana na Serikali watuambie Uwanja wa Uhuru utakamilika lini na pia tutawaomba waturuhusu tuanze kuutumia Uwanja wa Taifa, kwani sisi tunashiriki michuano ya kimataifa hivyo wachezaji wetu waanze kuuzoea uwanja isije ikawa kwenye mechi wageni watakuwa wageni na hata wachezaji wetu pia watakuwa wageni na uwanja kwa vile hawautumii wakati wako nyumbani," alisema.

Simba inatarajia kushiriki Ligi ya Mabingwa Afrika na Yanga Kombe la Shirikisho.

Tangu kuanza kwa Ligi Kuu Agosti mwaka huu, timu zilizokuwa zikitumia uwanja wa Uhuru zimehama Dar es Salaam na kutafuta viwanja vingine kwenye mikoa jirani kwa vile Uwanja wa Uhuru umefungwa kutokana na kufanyiwa matengenezo.

Mzunguko wa pili wa Ligi Kuu unatarajiwa kuanza Januari 15 mwakani. Katika hatua nyingine, Ndimbo alisema wameamua kuungana na Yanga katika mechi za kimataifa na kwamba watafanya jitihada mashabiki wasizomee timu pinzani inapocheza na wageni.

Imekuwa kawaida kwa mashabiki wa timu hizo kuzomeana na kushangilia wageni pindi timu moja inapocheza mechi ya kimataifa.

"Safari hii tunataka tuungane, tushirikiane na kupeana mbinu za kushinda mechi, hatutaki kuzomeana, ila hilo ni kwenye mechi za kimataifa tu kwenye ligi kila mmoja atajijua mwenyewe," alisema.

"Tunawaomba wachezaji watumie ubingwa wa Chalenji kama changamoto ya kufanya vizuri katika kuwania kufuzu fainali za Afrika (CAN) za mwaka 2012," alisema.

Kuhusiana na Osiah na Wambura alisema, ni wanahabari wazoefu, ambao kwa muda mrefu wamekuwa wahariri wa habari za michezo na ni watu wenye kufahamu mambo mengi yanayohusu kazi zao mpya.

"Lakini pia Wambura amekuwa Mwenyekiti wa TASWA kwa miaka sita mfululizo, pia amepata kukaimu nafasi hiyo ya uenyekiti kwa miaka miwili, ni mtu mzoefu kwenye mambo ya habari hasa yanayohusiana na usimamizi wa wanahabari.

"Tunaamini watakuwa watendaji wazuri kwa nafasi hiyo na kama ni pumu basi tunasema zimepata mkohozi, TASWA inaahidi kuwapa ushirikiano wa kutosha ili watekeleze majukumu yao ipasavyo. Tunawatakia kila la heri Osiah na Wambura huku tukiamini hawatawaangusha wajumbe wa Kamati ya Utendaji ya TFF waliowaamini kushika nafasi hizo.

"Tunawaombea heri watekeleze majukumu yao kwa ufasaha na wala si vinginevyo, huku tukiwambia Osiah na Wambura wakumbuke kwamba gari ya makanika hailali njiani.Wao ni kama fundi makanika, tutashangaa sana kama gari likiharibika halafu wao wamo ndani kisha wakakubali kulala porini," alisema Mhando katika taarifa hiyo.

Waziri:Vazi la taifa lipatikane ndani ya miezi 6

Imeandikwa na Grace Chilongola, Mwanza; Tarehe: 15th December 2010 @ 08:30
SEKTA ya Utamaduni imepewa muda wa miezi sita kuhakikisha inakamilisha mchakato wa kulipata vazi la Taifa.

Agizo hilo lilitolewa na Waziri wa Habari, Vijana, Utamaduni na Michezo, Dk. Emmanuel Nchimbi wakati akifungua kikao kazi cha nane cha Sekta ya Utamaduni kinachoendelea jijini Mwanza.

Alisema mchakato huo umechukua muda mrefu na hivyo kumlazimu kutoa agizo hilo, ili taifa liweze kuwa na vazi litakalomtambulisha Mtanzania ndani na nje ya nchi.

"Mchakato wa kulitafuta vazi la taifa lilianza tangu nikiwa Naibu Waziri, lakini hadi leo halijakamilika, likamilike ndani ya miezi sita kuanzia sasa," alisema Waziri Nchimbi.

Alisema, ukosefu wa elimu na ubunifu wa mavazi umefanya watu mbalimbali kuvaa mavazi ambayo yamekuwa yakiacha maswali mengi kwenye jamii.

"Hakuna elimu wala ubunifu wa mavazi, hivyo watu kuvaa nguo ambazo hutafsiriwa vibaya kwenye jamii ya Watanzania," alisema Waziri na kuongeza kuwa eneo la ubunifu bado linapwaya.

Aliwataka wasanii wanapotunga nyimbo na maigizo yao mwisho waoneshe madhara yanayoweza kutokea katika jamii iwapo hawatafuata maadili.

Alisema , serikali ina wajibu wa kuhamasisha wasanii kutumia vipaji vyao katika kuondoa tatizo la ajira pamoja na kuliingizia Taifa pato la kigeni.

Togo, Stars, Ivory Coast zaalikwa Zanzibar

Imeandikwa na Mwandishi Wetu; Tarehe: 15th December 2010 @ 08:25

TIMU za Taifa za Togo, Ivory Coast zimealikwa mjini Zanzibar kushiriki mashindano maalumu yatakayohusisha nchi nne.

Akizungumza kwa simu jana kutoka Zanzibar, Katibu Mwenezi wa Chama cha Soka Zanzibar (ZFA), Maulid Hamad Maulid alisema maandalizi kuhusiana na mashindano hayo yanaenda vizuri.

"Togo wao walituma maombi ya kuja Zanzibar kucheza mechi ya kirafiki na timu yetu ya Taifa, itakuwa walituona kwenye televisheni wakati wa michuano ya Chalenji.

"Lakini wakati hilo likifanyika, kuna mashindano ya nchi nne yanaandaliwa, ambayo tarehe rasmi itatangazwa hivi karibuni, yatafanyika hapa Zanzibar.

"Nchi hizo ni Ivory Coast, Togo, Zanzibar na Tanzania Bara ambayo timu yake ya Taifa Kilimanjaro Stars ilichukua ubingwa wa Chalenji Jumapili," alisema Maulid.

Hata hivyo hakutaka kuingia kwa undani kuhusiana na suala hilo zaidi ya kusisitiza kuwa mambo ya maandalizi yanaenda vizuri.

Wakati huohuo, Maulid alisema kocha wao wa timu ya Taifa 'Zanzibar Heroes', Stuart Hall bado hajavunja mkataba nao hivyo akisaini timu yoyote kwa sasa bila kwanza kuvunja mkataba itakuwa ni kosa.

"Tunajua anafanya mazungumzo ya kuifundisha Azam lakini hajaleta barua ya kuvunja mkataba na sisi, kwani ana mkataba wa miaka mitano, hivyo akienda kinyume chake tutafikishana mbali," alisema Maulid.

SHIRIKISHO la Soka Tanzania (TFF), limemteua Jamhuri Kihwelo ‘Julio' kuwa kocha wa muda wa timu ya soka ya Taifa ya vijana chini ya umri wa miaka 17 ‘Serengeti Boys'.

Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari Dar es Salaam jana, Kaimu Katibu Mkuu wa TFF, Sunday Kayuni alisema, Julio ameteuliwa kuchukua nafasi hiyo na ataiongoza Serengeti Boys kwenda Kigali Rwanda kwenye mechi za kirafiki.

Shirikisho la Soka la Rwanda kwa kushirikiana na Baraza la Vyama vya Soka Afrika Mashariki na Kati (CECAFA) limeandaa michuano maalumu kwa ajili ya kuipima nguvu timu yake ya vijana inayotarajiwa kushiriki fainali za Kombe la Mataifa Afrika zitakazoanza Januari 8 mpaka 22 mwakani.

"Tumepata mwaliko wa kwenda Rwanda kucheza, kutakuwa na timu tatu, Rwanda yenyewe, Tanzania na Kenya hivyo timu itakuwa chini ya Jamhuri Kihwelo tutacheza mechi mbili, moja tarehe 17 na nyingine tarehe 22 mwezi huu," alisema Kayuni.

Julio, kocha mwenye maneno mengi, anaaminika kuwa hodari wa kuwapa hamasa wachezaji wa timu anayofundisha.

Kocha huyo kwa nyakati tofauti amewahi kucheza na kuifundisha Simba. Mara ya mwisho alikuwa na kikosi cha Dar All Stars kilichokuwa na wachezaji nyota wanaocheza Ligi Kuu ambapo walicheza mechi ya kirafiki na timu ya Taifa ya Zanzibar ‘Zanzibar Heroes'.

Julio amepewa nafasi hiyo baada ya kocha aliyeajiriwa kwa ajili ya kuzifundisha timu za vijana kutoka Brazil Rodrigo Stockler kuondoka nchini kwa takriban miezi miwili sasa akidaiwa kwenda kwao kumuuguza baba yake.

Katika hatua nyingine, Kayuni amewaita viongozi wa klabu zinazoshiriki Ligi Kuu wakutane ili kujadili ligi ya timu za vijana chini ya miaka 20.

"Kama ilivyo kawaida kwamba kila timu ya ligi ina timu yake ya vijana ambazo nazo hucheza ligi yao, hivyo nawaita viongozi wa klabu tukutane ofisi za TFF Desemba 18 (Jumamosi) kwa ajili ya kujadili ligi hiyo, tarehe ya kuanza itapangwa baada ya kukutana na viongozi kila klabu ilete Mwenyekiti na Katibu Mkuu wake," alisema.
