Tanzania Coach: “We Are Ready” for Super Eagles and Tough AFCON Group
Tanzania’s head coach, Hemed Suleiman Ali, has expressed confidence in his team’s ability to compete against the Super Eagles and their other Group C rivals at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Taifa Stars have been drawn alongside former champions Tunisia, Uganda, and Nigeria in what many consider a challenging group.
Tanzania, currently the lowest-ranked team among them, will have a tough task ahead, but Ali remains optimistic about their chances.
Acknowledging the difficulty of the group, Ali made it clear that his team was not backing down.
“We are ready. We’ve seen our opponents, and we know it won’t be easy, but it’s not easy for anyone. There is no such thing as an easy group in this competition,” Ali told CAF Online.
“If you qualify for a tournament like this, you must prepare well. We know who we’re up against, and we know what we need to do. The only way forward is to get ready and fight hard to make our people proud,” he added.
