Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Tanzania must strive to reach each final – Samatta

The Belgium-based striker stressed the importance of the national team getting a good start when they open their campaign

Tanzanian striker Mbwana Samatta has maintained the team’s target is to make sure they make regular appearances at the Africa Cup of Nations finals.

The Taifa Stars will launch their campaign for the 2021 finals to be held in Cameroon with a Group J home game against Equatorial Guinea on Friday.

Samatta, who plays for KRC Genk in Belgium's top flight, believes featuring in the competition on a regular basis will help the players to get used to the continent’s biggest football competition, and increase their chances of reaching the latter stages.
