Yanga faces Sh100 million fine and ethics panel referral for dressing room breach

Young Africans (Yanga) have been fined Sh100 million by the Tanzania Premier League Board (TPLB) after their players and technical staff used a house outside the stadium instead of the designated dressing room during a match against JKT Tanzania.This breach of Article 17:20 of the Premier League Regulations led to sanctions under Article 27:7.The incident occurred in Match No.233 at Major General Isamuhyo Stadium, where Yanga won 3-0.The club's president and CEO were referred to the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) Ethics Committee for making unacceptable statements.

This is the second time Yanga has faced such a penalty within months, with a previous Sh30 million fine in May 2026 for a similar offense against Simba SC.The recurrence of the breach influenced the higher fine, emphasizing the TPLB's strict enforcement of regulations.Yanga's supporters organized a fundraising campaign to pay the initial fine, but the repeated violation led to a harsher punishment.The board's decision highlights the importance of compliance with match-day procedures and official facilities usage.
