Tanzanian President John Magufuli rewards Taifa Stars' players after Afcon success

Tanzanian President John Pombe Magufuli has gifted each of the Taifa Stars players with a parcel of land after the East African nation booked their place in the 2019 Afcon finals.

Taifa Stars whipped Uganda 3-0 on Sunday to end a 39-year wait for a place in the continental showpiece. Simon Msuva, Erasto Nyoni, and Aggrey Morris scored a goal each to hand the side a ticket to Egypt in June.

After the historic fete, the side met the President at the Statehouse on Monday, who has awarded them with a piece of land in Dodoma.
