The First Division Football League which was initially scheduled to kick off on September 6 has been postponed to September 20.
The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) Information Officer, Florian Kaijage, said the tourney was postponed by league committee which met last Wednesday.

``We will announce players who have qualified to feature in the league on September 3,`` he said.

The groups will be as follows: Group A; Majimaji (Ruvuma), Ashanti United (Dar es Salaam), Ruvu Shooting (Pwani), Rhino (Morogoro), Kijiweni (Mbeya) and Polisi (Iringa)
Group B; Manyema Rangers, Pan African, Mbagala Market (all of Dar es Salaam), Coastal Union, Segera FC (Tanga) and Korosho FC (Mtwara).
