International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman Jay Shah officially inaugurated the Tanzania Cricket Association’s (TCA) new TCA Arena in Dar es Salaam on Sunday, marking a major step forward for cricket in the country.
The stadium is set to become the home of cricket in Tanzania and will host the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Challenge League B 2026 from 8 to 18 August.
Speaking at the inauguration, Shah praised the efforts of the Tanzania Cricket Association and everyone involved in the project.
“The inauguration of the TCA Arena is a significant milestone for cricket in Tanzania and demonstrates what can be achieved through vision, commitment and strong collaboration,” he said in a press release. “The progress made by the Tanzania Cricket Association is remarkable. The TCA has shown great ambition and determination in developing a modern cricket facility while continuing to expand participation, strengthen its workforce and create better opportunities for players across the country.”
Shah also highlighted the long-term impact of the venue on cricket in Tanzania and across Africa.
“The TCA Arena represents an exciting future for cricket in Tanzania and the wider African region. It will provide an important platform for Tanzania to host international cricket, develop its players, coaches and match officials, and inspire more young people to become involved in the game.”
He added, “The ICC will continue to work alongside Tanzania and its other Members to enhance cricket infrastructure, build local capability and ensure that the opportunities available through ICC programmes are used to create sustainable growth.”
The project began in 2024 after land was allocated by the University of Dar es Salaam. Construction started in 2025, and the stadium was completed in July 2026.
