PREMIER League champions Young Africans face demotion from the top flight league after failing to conduct online registration of players through the mandatory FIFA Transfer Matching System.
The club had not sent it by Sunday night, which was the deadline for domestic transfer window.
According to the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF), Yanga was among clubs that failed to comply with the new system of player registration, which requires clubs to use online platform to record player transfers.
The country’s football governing body revealed in a statement yesterday that all clubs that did not comply with the regulation, that was first made mandatory in 2010, were facing demotion to third division.
“Clubs that did not submit their player registrations must prepare and submit their defense to TFF, that will be forwarded to FIFA, which has the mandate to reopen the window, should the defense be turned down the concerned club will be relegated to the division that does not use the TMS system,” TFF said in a statement.
TFF lambasted Yanga as regular defaults of the system, revealing that the club twice ignored to send a representative to a special TMS training organized for club officials, with the aim to impart them with the knowledge of online registration of players.
“For the second consecutive season, Young Africans have been among clubs that failed to send a representative for a three-day course, which brought together envoys from premier league, first division and second division leagues,” TFF said in the statement.
“The TMS manager at Young Africans is the club’s secretary general and he never had TMS training, while other clubs made efforts and sought TFF assistance to perform the exercise, Yanga never consulted TFF for assistance and did not respond whey they were reminded to about the player registration exercise,” the statement added. The FIFA Transfer Matching System is an online platform for FIFA’s Member’s Associations to record player transfers between clubs.
The introduction of the system was approved by the FIFA Congress in 2009 and was made mandatory from October 1, 2010. There are two variants; Domestic Transfer Matching System (DTMS) for player transfers between clubs affiliated to the same association and International Transfer Matching System (ITMS) for player transfers between two different football associations.
FIFA developed the Domestic Transfer Matching System following feedback from member associations and clubs expressing their desire to have a domestic version of the International Transfer Matching System (ITMS).
DTMS and ITMS are fully integrated, granting member associations and their affiliated clubs access to both international and domestic transfers in one place, providing a complete picture of all professional player transfers.
DTMS enables users to manage and monitor their domestic transfers, receive detailed transfer reports on a regular basis, communicate more efficiently with each other to speed up the approval process and store official documents safely for easy referral.
Through system based processes, member associations are able to increase club adherence to domestic regulations and improve monitoring levels that allow for greater involvement in transfer review and approval processes.
Meanwhile, Grace Mkojera reports that Chairman of Young Africans, Yusuf Manji and the club’s trustees will today sign a deal that gives the chairman a 10-year ownership lease. The signing will also give Manji rights to use Quality Group label in the team’s jerseys effective from the coming season.
Manji requested an approval from the club’s members in a meeting held in Dar es Salaam two days ago. In his meeting with members, Manji requested a 10- year lease altogether with the use of his Quality Group label, promising to return to the club 25 per cent of the income generated. He said he will pocket the remaining 75 per cent of the club’s revenues garnered from the deal.
Manji’s take over, as he told reporters in a meeting with them over the weekend, aims at fast-tracking development at the club so that it becomes one of the biggest clubs at the continental level.
