Supporting & Promoting
Tanzanian Sports Bodies and Organisations
There are many sports websites and blogs dedicated to sports in Tanzania. With Tanzania Sports we are trying to focus on promoting all sports in Tanzania and create a forum for exchanges on sports issues between various institutions and supporters.
For the last three years the website has managed to set up links between top American basketball coaches and the Tanzania Basketball Federation (TBF) which led to one coach travelling to Tanzania to conduct basketball clinics. A top Spanish cyclist also visited Tanzania to promote Tanzania cycling.
We also provide information and practical advice to institutions, organisations or other individuals in the UK interested in Tanzanian sport and have set up meetings to discuss areas of cooperation and investment through the Tanzania High Commission in London. During the recent Olympic Games, we supported the Tanzania Olympic team and publicised their Olympic activities on the website.
Linkages are also promoted around the UK Premiership League which is a key focus of interest for Tanzanians and followed closely through satellite TV and through the BBC Swahili radio service. There is currently a keen interest among sports institutions and individuals to create opportunities for visits of UK Premiership football teams to Tanzania as well as visits of Tanzania clubs to the UK.
Through this website we invite all sports people and institutions in Tanzania to share information on their activities. We will promote this information and help develop partnership links.
Tanzaniasports Ltd provides a range of services including:
- Research
- Arranging fact finding visits and presentations to stakeholders
- Facilitating negotiations with representatives of the Tanzania Government
- Developing sponsorship contacts
- Assisting in project implementation
