AFCON 2027Q: Tanzania Storm Uyo For Super Eagles Showdown

Tanzania’s Taifa Stars have arrived in Uyo ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday three clash against Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

The players and their officials touched down at the Victor Attah International Airport, Uyo, on Tuesday morning before proceeding to their hotel after completing immigration formalities.

Miguel Gamondi’s men are scheduled to hold a training session at the practice pitch of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium later tonight as they intensify preparations for the crucial encounter.

The early arrival is aimed at giving the Tanzanian side sufficient time to acclimatise and prepare for the showdown against the Super Eagles.

Nigeria will host Tanzania in the matchday three encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo, on Friday.

Both sides will renew their rivalry in the reverse fixture next Tuesday as the AFCON qualifying campaign continues.
