The Boxing Federation of Tanzania (BFT) has announced that the National Open Boxing Championship will take place from June 2 to June 7 this year in Dar es Salaam.
According to BFT Secretary General Makore Mashaga, the tournament will serve as a key platform for selecting athletes to form the national boxing team, which will represent Tanzania in upcoming international competitions.
"The championship will help us identify and prepare boxers for major events such as the Zone 3 Championships, the African Boxing Championships, the Commonwealth Games, and ultimately, the 2028 Olympic Games," said Mashaga.
He confirmed that invitations have been sent to various regional teams, and it is now their responsibility to confirm participation and finalize preparations.
In addition to the competition, a Level One Refereeing and Coaching Course will be conducted from May 26 to June 7, also in Dar es Salaam.
Mashaga encouraged those interested in acquiring foundational skills in refereeing and coaching to register for the course by paying a confirmation fee of TZS 70,000.
