Prisons 2-0 Polisi [Mkwakwani Stadium, Tanga]
Mlandege 1-3 Mtibwa [Amaan stadium, Zanzibar]
Jamhuri w/o Yanga [Gombani stadium, Chakechake]
[Yanga did not show for their match, after going to court in
protest to the format change and being granted a temporary
injunction by Ilala District magistrate Agatha Kabuta pending
hearing of a suit the club filed against the Football Association
of Tanzania (FAT) (final decision due in February 2004)]
NB: following the injunction against FAT continuing the Union League,
the FAT and ZFA decided to inscribe Mainland champions Simba for
the CAF Champions Cup and Zanzibar champions Jamhuri for the new
Confederation Cup; as Jamhuri declined the registration by FAT
and ZFA, stating they were not ready for the challenge, FAT and
ZFA decided to inscribe Mtibwa Sugar for the Confederation Cup
instead, provided they will play their home matches at Amaan
stadium in Zanzibar. Meanwhile Yanga have petitioned the same
Ilala Disctrict court to dissolve FAT or jail its leaders...
Semifinals [Dec 12]
Simba n/p Prisons [Jamhuri Stadium, Morogoro]
Mtibwa 3-0 Jamhuri [Amaan stadium, Zanzibar]
NB: FAT also decided to simply scrap the remainder of the Union
League, regardless of the final outcome of the legal procedures.
The Simba vs Prisons semifinal was not played.

Singida United
Police Dodoma
Abajalo
Express SC
Musoma Shooting Stars
Magereza Tanga
Pamba
Police Singida

Villa Squad
NB: few teams have so far confirmed participation; the original
deadline of Sep 3 was extended to Oct 17 but will presumably
be extended again; Lipuli FC (Iringa) have expressed 'shock'
for not being listed among the participants; it is also unclear
why CDA (Dodoma) are not included.
NB: 4 teams to be promoted to Premier Division 2004 (which will
have 20 teams rather than 24 as in 2003)
Promoted: Trans Camp FC (Dar es Salaam), Kariakoo (Lindi),
Police (Dodoma) and Reli (Kigoma)
Trans Camp are a team of the Tanzania People's Defence Forces
(which withdrew their previous support of 82 Rangers (now known as
Kahama United), Meru Warriors and Karume Rangers).
NB: how the FAT could promote Reli in spite of them not featuring among
the initial list of participants is unclear.
