TANZANIA Premier League Board said the team that wins the Premier League for the 2021/22 season will pocket 600m/- cash prize being an offer from the league's chief sponsors; National Bank of Commerce and Azam Media Limited. Speaking in Dar es Salaam on Thursday TPLB's Executive Director Almasi Kassongo said that there are two awards; one as the bonus from Azam Media and another from the league's main sponsor, NBC Bank that goes for all 16 Premier League teams. "The NBC Premier League is now ranked second for having lucrative sponsorship deal after the South African Premier League and other leagues of the North Africa," said Kassongo. The awards are part of sponsorship deal that Azam Television and NBC signed with Tanzania Football Federation and Tanzania Premier League Board in May and October last year. In 10 years deal, Azam Television injected 225.6bn/- to broadcast live Premier League games where their counterpart NBC signed a three-year contract and injected 2.5 bn/- for the 2021/22 season.
