Tanzania head coach Miguel Gamondi has declared his team’s readiness for battle against the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
The Taifa Stars head into the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matchday three encounter as underwhelming underdogs, having failed to beat the Super Eagles in any of their 11 previous meetings.
The East Africans have also endured a poor start to their qualifying campaign, recording just one point from two matches.
Nigeria have an array of talented players who play in the best leagues in the world.
Despite the huge gap in class between the two teams, Gamondi declared that his team will give the Super Eagles a big fight.
“The gap between Nigeria and Tanzania is very big, and we respect them, but we are here to give a battle and compete,” Gamondi told a press conference in Uyo on Thursday.
