On Tuesday, Tanzania and Guinea face each other in a real “final” which will allow the winner to qualify for Can 2025.
On Saturday, Guinea scored a capital victory on the occasion of the 5th day of the Can 2025 qualifiers, winning in the 92nd minute against the DR Congo (1-0) thanks to Serhou Guirassy, to regain two points ahead of Tanzania, who had defeated Ethiopia a little earlier (2-0). As a result, Syli National will be able to settle for one point to qualify on Tuesday at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam and eliminate the Taifas Stars.
48 hours before this momentous meeting, the Guinean Football Federation (Fgf) announced a change this Sunday. “The Confederation of African Football has informed the Guinean Football Federation, through correspondence, that due to the renovation work on the lighting system at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salam, the kickoff schedule The sending of the Tanzania-Guinea match, scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, 2024, is modified. Initially scheduled for 7 p.m. GMT, the kick-off will now be given at 1 p.m. GMT,” the body announced.
A timing that questions…
A last minute maneuver aimed at destabilizing Syli National? In any case, it’s difficult to understand why we had to wait until two days before the match to communicate this information, which could disrupt the Guineans’ program…
One thing is certain: at 1 p.m. GMT, it will be 4 p.m. in Tanzania and it should still be very hot, around 30°C. These climatic conditions will benefit the Taifas Stars more, whose workforce is mainly made up of locals, unlike Guinea, which relies mainly on expatriates. An additional challenge for the Syli National, which will have to resist the hot atmosphere of Dar es Salaam.
