Jerome Dufourg, Regional Director of Operations at LEONBET, added: “Tanzania was our first African project, where we learned to adapt to the local context.

His dedication and humility reflect our vision at Leonbet Tanzania, in a country preparing for AFCON 2027 and competing in this year’s tournament.”
