Tanzania Say They’re Ready to Challenge Super Eagles in AFCON 2027 Qualifier

Tanzania Football Federation official Almasi Kasongo says the Taifa Stars are not intimidated by Nigeria’s Super Eagles ahead of their AFCON 2027 qualifying match in Uyo on Friday. He says the team is prepared and will aim to get a result against Nigeria, despite recognising the Super Eagles’ quality and experience. Nigeria are favourites after winning seven of the teams’ 11 previous meetings, with the other four ending in draws. The Super Eagles also beat Tanzania 2-1 at the 2025 AFCON. Tanzania lost 2-0 to Guinea-Bissau and drew 1-1 with Madagascar in their first two Group L matches. As co-hosts, they have already secured a place at the 2027 tournament and will use the qualifiers to build momentum.
