Yanga SC official Hassan Bumbuli has come out to state he did not say they will not play against Simba SC in their Mainland Premier League fixture on July 3.
“Yanga have been fined Tsh500, 000 for their mistake of using a gate meant for fans instead of using the main gate which was preserved for teams and officials,” read the statement from the TPLB.
“The decision by Yanga allowed several fans to force their way and enter the match venue without paying and also during the match, fans suspected to be from Yanga used abusive language towards the centre referee and his assistant and also hurled bottles of water into the pitch.
“The decision to fine Yanga has been issued as per Article 45(1) of the Mainland league rules and regulations on how to handle clubs in the top-flight.”
