“Yanga have been slapped with a fine of Tsh3million for breaking the following rules; using the adjacent gate from Uhuru Stadium to access the main venue for the match at Mkapa, instead, of using the main gate which was preserved for all the teams,” read part of the statement.
“Using the gate meant for journalists to access media centre, instead, of using the main target preserved for teams, and entering the pitch for a warm-up session by using Gate B, which was not planned to be used during the derby.”
The statement continued: “Yanga have also been punished for using the room meant for stadium workers to dress for the game, instead, of using the dressing room which was set aside for them.
