Hasa kwa  Tanzania , ambayo ni muunganiko wa  nchi mbili awali Tanganyika na Zanzibar Zilizo ungana january  26 April 1964, ambapo zimepakana na Uganda na  Kenya Kaskazini , Burundi, Rwanda na  Congo DR Magharibi , Zambia na  Malawi kusini mashariki ,na  Mozambique upande  kusini .

I’m especially appreciative of the interest that President Blatter has shown in Africa. It’s really due to his efforts that we now send five teams to the World Cup, and that the last tournament, in 2010, took place on African soil.
