Co-hosts Tanzania have electrified the CHAN PAMOJA 2024 tournament, becoming the first team to reach the quarter-finals after three straight wins.
With nine points, five goals scored, and just one conceded, the Taifa Stars have combined defensive grit, midfield brilliance, and attacking flair.
Five standout players have driven their success:
Feisal Salum Abdallah: The midfield maestro, unlocking defences with vision and precision.
Shomari Kapombe: A reliable right-back who scored a dramatic stoppage-time winner vs Mauritania.
Mudathir Abbas Yahya: Controlled tempo and transitions, earning Man of the Match honours.
Clement Mzize: Striker with a match-winning brace vs Madagascar.
Iddi Selemani Alli: Winger whose pace and trickery have stretched defences.
As Tanzania heads into the knockout rounds, belief is growing that a historic first continental title is within reach. The Taifa Stars aren’t just co-hosting CHAN—they’re chasing glory.
