Taifa Stars beat Halas El Hodood SC from Egypt with a single strike from Morice Abraham before heading into AFCON, and the squad just swapped Abdul Suleiman for Selemani Mwalimu after an injury knocked the original striker out during training camp. Coach Miguel Gamondi locked in the final roster while Tanzania Football Federation rep Clifford Ndimbo hyped up the team's chances of making it past the group stages, as they did at CHAN when they hit quarterfinals.
The squad lands in Group C, facing Nigeria first, then Uganda, and wrapping against Tunisia while training out of Egypt before flying to Morocco. This marks their fourth tournament appearance after showing up back in 1980, plus the 2019 and 2023 editions.
