The national football team (Taifa Stars) are expected to leave today for Addis Ababa for Friday international friendly match against the host side Ethiopia.
According to the Tanzania Football
Federation (TFF) media officer, Boniface Wambura, the match is very
important for the national team preparations ahead of the 2014 World Cup
Africa qualifiers.
Stars will lock horns with Morocco in March.
Meanwhile Wambura said two Young Africans
(Yanga), Kelvin Yondan and Frank Domayo, are expected in the country
today to join Taifa Stars which is preparing for match against Ethiopia.
The two utility players were with their
side in Turkey where they are training ahead of the Mainland Premier
League second round matches.
Speaking in Dar es Salaam yesterday, Wambura said Yanga have agreed to release only two players to join the national team.
The last time Ethiopia qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations was in 1982.
Despite winning the Cecafa Senior
Challenge Cup four times, they have found it hard to penetrate into the
Africa’s biggest soccer bonanza, the Africa Cup of Nations.
The team qualified for the last 16 after beating Sudan 2-0 at home.
