Hivi karibuni nilikutana na mnazi mmoja wa Arsenal, Bw Yasin katika viunga vya kaskazini mwa jiji la London, kunako makazi ya klabu ya Arsenal, na haya ndiyo mazungumzo yetu yasiyo rasmi….recently in North London I met an Arsenal fan, Mr Yasin Aden, and this is our informal conversation regarding Arsenal football club.
I have been involved with sports in Tanzania as a Volleyball Coach for many years—and was a Tanzania Amateur Volleyball Association (TAVA) leader. I studied sports management at Leipzig University in Germany and understand the science behind sports. That led me to work as a football pundit, with the BBC ( Swahili service) in London. That experience and exposure took me to covering the 2010, World Cup in South Africa. This provided me with a great insight into international level football commentary and the opportunity to carry out extensive research into the game including its players, the stadiums, the rules and tactics.I have also been grateful to meet a wide range of people connected to football in the UK, Tanzania, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, France, Kenya etc, and visited almost all of the key football stadiums across United Kingdom, and Europe.
