Tanzania premier league

Fellow Ugandan Fred Musaasizi: The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), the biggest football tournament in Africa, kicked off on January 13 in Cote d'Ivoire.

Tanzania will start their campaign on January 17 with a Group F match against 2022 FIFA World Cup semifinalists Morocco, and later play Zambia and DR Congo, reports Xinhua.

Although Uganda did not make it to the competition, Ugandans have come out rooting for their neighbors Tanzania to perform well. "We must support our brothers from Tanzania because they are now carrying the regional flag in Cote d'Ivoire," said Grace Nabachwa, a football supporter in Uganda's capital Kampala.
