AFCON qualification within reach, let’s make it happen!

TANZANIA stands on the brink of history. With just two crucial matches remaining—against Ethiopia and Guinea—the path to qualifying for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is clear and victory is within our grasp.

The dream of seeing the Taifa Stars compete on Africa’s biggest stage for the fourth time is not only possible, it’s right there for the taking. The players have the talent, the support of the nation and the opportunity to make their mark in Tanzanian football history. Kudos to the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) and the coaching staff for making early preparations.

The early camping and focused training show a clear determination to give our boys the best possible chance to succeed. The commitment and dedication of the technical team and players are evident.

But, now it is time for the real test to begin. Every tackle, every pass, every goal in these next two matches will count and the team must be ready to give it their all.

To our players, the weight of this responsibility is heavy, but it is also an opportunity to etch their names in the hearts of millions. Players have the talent, the skill and the spirit to make it happen.

The next 180 minutes of play could determine their place in the history of Tanzanian football. They are not just playing for themselves; they are playing for a nation that believes in them, for the fans who dream of seeing the Taifa Stars shine on the continental stage.

To our loyal fans, this is your moment too. Your unwavering support can lift our players to new heights. We call on you to show your patriotism, to back your team no matter the score and to remind the boys that this is a collective effort. The team needs you, as much as you need them.

Fill the stadiums with energy, fill the air with chants of pride and be the 12th man that pushes them towards success. Your presence, your encouragement, your belief in their potential is what can make the difference.
