Ibrahim Joel Mwaipopo

A wonderfully athletic and powerful midfield all-rounder who has been hailed by many as "Tanzania Xavi Alonso', it is some billing to try and live up to. Neither defensive duties nor offensive action holds any fear for Mwaipopo as he is just as effective centrally as in wide positions. 

This defensive midfielders who always perform as a true  shield to the central defenders buy cutting off all opponents’  supplies of balls towards strikers in the last third of the field.

Joined Azam FC from Mtibwa Sugar in 2009 no nonsense,   left footed Mwaipopo remains a key man in the midfield and to the entire team.
