No reason for TFF liquidity problems

By Editor

30th June 2014

Of late the Tanzania Football Federation has been reported to be hanging by deep financial cliff whose reason behind remains unclear.

Never was disorganisation of a level as high as this experienced by the previous regime that handed over the reign to the current office bearers some nine months ago.

The federation tops the list of sports organisations in the country in relation to revenue resulting from its various sources, FIFA inclusive.

Given the way things are running at the TFF now, there is no reason to be surprised by what we are witnessing. Some of the decisions taken by the federation’s leaders have contributed much to the serious funding problems currently being experienced.

It could be safely assumed that few people expected see the new TFF leadership shifting the easily accessible office at Ilala in Dar es Salaam to the centrally located National Social Security Fund investment skyscraper.

Lack of focus is obviously one of the factors many observers attribute to the decision to shift the federation’s office premises.

The needless relocation of the office has seriously eaten into TFF’s coffers, with the federation now said to be parting with at least eleven million shillings on rentals every month.

With the Mainland premiership yet to kick off, the flow of the federation’s funds leaves much to be desired, what with reports that even ensuring prompt payment of staff remuneration packages has become a problem.

Premature termination of the services of Danish national Kim Poulsen as national team soccer coach last February also accounts to the prevailing financial instability. Millions were paid to him as compensation due to the breach of contract, not to mention the fact that another coach had to be hired to take his place.

A leadership of ordinary prudence would not have embarked on these kinds of catastrophic decisions now biting hard.

All these mess have been caused by the kind of leadership that never tries to plan ahead and shows to lack financial management knowledge in weighing decision optimality.

The prevailing financial imbalance is most likely to affect preparations of the national team (Taifa Stars) ahead of its African Nations Cup playoff qualifier duel against hard to beat Mozambique mid next month.

Though Stars funding is from sponsors of the team, the Tanzania Breweries, still there is likelihoods of misallocation of this resource to cover the potholes resulting from pilling bills of the football federation, who knows?

Surely we needed change in soccer but, seeing the way things are going, it is very possible we might take very long to forget what the previous regime under Leodegar Tenga achieved in the past eight years.

The change most of the soccer fraternity had envisaged soon after the new office bearers assumed power is neither office relocation nor tolerating misdeeds. For instance, we insist that there was just no need to replace coaches and acquisition of new posh furniture and fittings for the new office bearers.

Some very serious work must be done, and this cannot mean merely making “changes” that change little, if our soccer is to improve. Defaulting on prompt payment of staff salaries and other benefits heralds poor management or outright – and should be taboo.

Bora umesema siasa za mpira, mie naona hizo siasa hazileti maendeleo yoyote yale ya mpira nchini katika vilabu na hata katika timu yetu ya Taifa tumebaki kuwa washindikizaji tu miaka nenda miaka rudi.

Sasa kama una data zote za hali ya kifedha uliyoikuta TFF kwanini usifunguke hapa!? Hapa patakupa nafasi wewe na timu yako kujitetea kwa kina baada ya kuchorwa kwenye hilo gazeti.
