Tanzania’s Taifa Stars have arrived in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, five days ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter against Nigeria’s Super Eagles.

The visitors are expected to use the early arrival to acclimatise to the weather and playing conditions ahead of Friday’s Matchday Three fixture at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

Their arrival comes as Nigeria intensify preparations for the crucial encounter, with the Super Eagles targeting maximum points to strengthen their qualification hopes.
