Sokoine Stadium is a multi-use stadium in the Sisimba ward of Mbeya, Tanzania, owned by the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) political party.[1]
It is used mostly for football matches and serves as the home venue for Prisons FC and Mbeya City F.C. It holds 20,000 people.
Originally named the Mapinduzi Stadium, it was re-named Sokoine Memorial Stadium in 1984, after the death of Edward Sokoine, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Tanzania.
