Tanzania’s head coach, Hemed Suleiman Ali, has stated that his squad is ever ready to face the Super Eagles and their other Group C opponents at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
The East Africans are the lowest-ranked team in the group.
Although Ali acknowledged that the group is difficult, he maintained that they will put up a strong fight to get to the next round.
“We are ready. We saw who we are going to play with. I think it’s a tough group, but it’s tough for all of them. There is no easy group,” the gaffer told Cafonline.
“If you have qualified for this stage of the competition, you have to prepare. We know who we are facing, and we know how we will prepare for them. There is no other way, we have to prepare well and represent our people well at this tournament.”
The Taifa Stars will take on Nigeria in their opening fixture at the Complexe Sportif de Fès on Tuesday, December 23
