Mbeya City to play international friendlies in Malawi and Zambia.

Ambitious Mbeya City will play four international friendly matches in Malawi and Zambia ahead of this season’s Mainland Premier League.
“We expect to play at least two build-up matches against top outfits in Zambia before heading to Malawi for more warm-ups ahead of the league. Our target is to snatch the league title this season, I am optimistic we will achieve the mission,” said Mapunda .
Mbeya City, who finished third last season, are now fine-tuning in Mbeya under close supervision of head coach, Juma Mwambusi for the top flight.
Club chairman, Mussa Mapunda has attributed their decision to camp in the neighboring countries to a decision by Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) to fix a new date for the kick-off of the league. The league, which decides the country’s representatives in the Africa Champions League and Confederation Cup will start on September 20, nearly a month later than the initial date.
