Jamal Malinzi

Jamal Malinzi is a Tanzanian football administrator who served as the president of the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) during a pivotal period for the country's youth football development. His leadership was instrumental in the historic qualification of Tanzania's U-17 national team, the Serengeti Boys, for the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) in 2017, following a successful appeal against allegations of age cheating by Congo Brazzaville. Under his guidance, the TFF initiated significant reforms aimed at improving youth football infrastructure and governance, laying the groundwork for subsequent successes in the U-17 Afcon tournaments.
