Co-Host Tanzania Announces Provisional Squad for 2027 AFCON Qualifiers

Tanzania head coach Miguel Ángel Gamondi has announced the provisional squad for the Taifa Stars’ upcoming international fixtures as they prepare for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign.

Tanzania have already secured their place at the 2027 AFCON as co-hosts alongside Kenya and Uganda, but they will still take part in the qualifying matches.

The Taifa Stars will begin their campaign against Guinea-Bissau on September 23, 2026, before facing Madagascar four days later on September 27. Tanzania will then take on Ghana in an international friendly as part of their preparations.
