CAFCC: Tanzania FA confirms clearance of Benjamin Mkapa Stadium for Simba-Al Masry tie

The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) announced that the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam has been cleared to be the venue when Tanzanian giants Simba SC take on Egypt's Al Masry in the CAF Confederation Cup quarterfinals.

There were concerns that the stadium would be unavailable after it was closed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) over concerns about the playing surface. Those issues have been resolved as acknowledged by the TFF in a statement.
