The Glamour Boys have bolstered their midfield options with the landmark signing of the 27-year-old, making him the first Tanzanian player to join the Soweto giants. The deep-lying midfielder arrives at Naturena with a reputation for tireless work rates and high levels of commitment.
Amakhosi have made a significant statement in the transfer market by securing the services of the Tanzania international from Azam FC. The 27-year-old midfielder arrives at Naturena with a growing reputation, having been identified as the man to bring much-needed composure and technical quality to the engine room.
Since the announcement of changes to the biennial tournament, the governing body has been putting out fires, repeatedly trying to reassure stakeholders and clarify what the new era will look like for the tournament. Recently, rumours emerged again that the next edition could be postponed, owing to the unpreparedness of the host countries.
There are only three certainties in life: death, taxes and a dramatic Africa Cup of Nations. However, even by the tournament's extraordinary standards, the final of the 2025 edition was like nothing we've ever seen before - albeit not in a good way. In the 93rd minute of a tense but largely uneventful encounter in Rabat, Senegal had a goal from Ismaila Sarr very harshly disallowed for a perceived foul by Abdoulaye Seck on Achraf Hakimi beforehand. Just moments later, Morocco were awarded a penalty after an invention by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR), who had spotted a minor tug on Brahim Diaz's shirt by El Hadji Malick Diouf.
In a wide-ranging blog interview, the former AFCON winner revealed his views on the tournament's semi final stage, the battle between Mane and Salah, the upcoming final and picks his standout players.
Morocco stirmed into the last eight of the continental competition following a slim victory over the Taifa Stars at Stade Prince Moulay Abdallah on Sunday. The East Africans threatened to upset the hosts, especially in the first half, but the contest ended up in favour of the home side, who remain on course to reach the final of this competition.
The Super Eagles showed their class with a near-perfect display against the East African nation on Tuesday night in the final pool outing to make three wins in a row. However, it was not a good outing for Paul Put's men, who were eliminated without tasting a win. They lost two games and drew once from the three fixtures.
The Super Eagles started their campaign by collecting maximum points in Group C. They edged the Taifa Stars in a dominant performance, especially in the first half. After finishing as tournament runners-up the last time out, the Super Eagles are bidding to be crowned African champions since 2013.
The former Super Eagles captain walked away from his national team career just as his side was getting ready for the continental football showpiece. It marked the end of the 10 years he was with Nigeria, having established himself as a reliable centre-back and entrusted with a leadership role as the team's skipper. The Buccaneers defender played with him and has taken time to pay tribute.
The Super Eagles saw their hopes of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup finals in the USA, Canada and Mexico fade away after losing 4-3 to the Leopards on penalties at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat, Morocco, on Sunday night. The encounter ended in a 1-1 draw, with a tired-looking Nigeria side, who had played 180 minutes against Gabon in midweek, taking their foot off the pedal after making a promising start to the game, and Congo capitalising to take the match to extra-time before eventually winning on penalties.
The experienced goalkeeper has joined a growing list of players from Masandawana who have found homes at the lower league club. His place in the squad that will head to the AFCON finals is now doubtful, given that he is also injured.
