AFCON 2027 Qualifiers: Tanzania to arrive in Uyo Sunday for Super Eagles clash

Tanzania’s Taifa Stars will arrive in Uyo on Sunday to prepare for their third match in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Nigeria. The early arrival will give head coach Miguel Gamondi more time to prepare, according to The Citizen. Gamondi has called up 24 players, split evenly between 12 locally based and 12 foreign-based professionals. Nigeria will host Tanzania at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Friday, November 13, with the teams meeting again in Dar es Salaam four days later.
