The Tanzanian government has urged the teams to return to Dar es Salaam with all three points, with Culture, Arts and Sports Ministry Permanent Secretary Gerson Msigwa claiming that they need to play with determination.
"I urge the players to fight hard since they are going to play away. I call on them not to let us down as they are at a crucial stage. It is a well-known fact that all teams are in top form, but they need to stay focused during this critical phase. I, along with all my fellow Tanzanians, hope that both teams will qualify for the knockout stage and make new history for our country," Msigwa told The Citizen.
