Tanzania name squad to face Nigeria

By Daily Sports on August 29, 2016

Tanzania head coach Charles Boniface Mkwasa has named a 20-man squad for the 3 September Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying fixture against Nigeria.

Top of the list is captain Mbwana Samatta, who is the only foreign-based player in the squad. He has been in red-hot form for his club in Belgium since moving from TP Mazembe.

Mkwasa dropped several familiar faces, such as Mwinyi Kazimoto, Erasto Nyomi, Aggreh Morris and Juma Nyoso.

Speaking to supersport.com, Mkwasa alluded to the fact that they were buoyant ahead of the game.

"Our game against Nigeria is important, and even though we will be playing away, I want to ensure we give 100 percent. I have called up players who I believe will deliver, but the door is always opened for any player who will prove his best," Mkwasa said.

Both Nigeria and Tanzania are out of contention for a place in Gabon 2017, as the group has already been won by Egypt.

THE FULL SQUAD

Goalkeepers: Deogratius Munish, Aishi Manula

Defenders: Mwinyi Haji, Andrew Vincent, Shomari Kapombe, Kelvin Yondani, David Mwantika

Midfielders: Hamid Mao, Juma Mahadhi, Jamal Myante, Mzamiru Yassin, Jonas Mkude

Forwards: John Bocco, Farid Mussa, Ibrahim Ajib, Simon Msuva, Mbwana Samatta
