Samia assures full support to Stars despite Afcon defeat

Taifa Stars
DAR ES SALAAM: President Samia Suluhu Hassan has pledged full backing to Taifa Stars despite their 3-0 defeat to Morocco in Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) match.
On her Instagram page, she writes: “It was a good game for our team Taifa Stars though luck was not to our side. “We continue to wish them all the best and the nation is behind you in your next matches.”
However, it was the first group F match for the country’s envoys in the unfolding AFCON finals in Ivory Coast.
All is not lost as they have two extra games to play of which they have an opportunity to win both of them and make it to the last 16.
In another group F match, Zambia and DR Congo shared spoils after stamping a 1-1 draw hence the group is still ajar.
Up next, Tanzania face neighbours Zambia on Sunday in their second assignment of the contest.
