Tanzania missing match data

    Quote from bakerrp

    As this is a CECAFA Cup game this is a Tanzania Mainland side, rather than the true national team.


    I'm wonder if the Tanzanian FA gives full caps to players appearing in their mainland team aka The Kilimanjaro Stars. As far as I'm concerned, it understandable if they do or don't.

    Hard to say! They'd have to do the same for the Zanzibar team to be consistent, although there is a separate Zanzibar FA which could do this, I suppose. FIFA seems to consider a lot of the Mainland games as official internationals, despite the fact the the "Full" Tanzania team usually contains at least one player from Zanzibar - I think here of Aggrey Morris who has been a regular for some time now. Nasor Masoud and Khamis Mcha are also Zanzibari.

    Let me tell you. Tanzanian FA doesn't count any caps for anyone, if they did, we wouldn't have to search for these line-ups... ;)

    Quite true. Or, they do but just like a lot of FA's around the world, they don't make their records public/accessibile.

    If I may intrude, indeed Africa remains an enigma as to the accessibility of any data (except for some countries)... Yet, these 'mainland' sides appear to be quite efficient and most players don't remain totally unknown afterwards (if they weren't already A team players before...).
    Anyway I tend to add those matches (I took 'care' of Morocco's side in 2012 in the Pan-Arab cup if I remember well), they're really useful I think... and it's such a shame not to add a complete match report for any reason when one has them!
