Simba SC striker John Bocco will captain Tanzania when they face Kenya in the first leg of the African Nations Championship (Chan) qualifier.
Taifa Stars coach Etienne Ndayiragije has confirmed Bocco will captain the side assisted by veteran goalkeeper Juma Kaseja, Kelvin Yonda and Erasto Nyoni.
“Bocco is the right player to lead my side and I have handed him the armband for the derby,” the Burundian coach told Goal.
Taifa Stars and Harambee Stars will face off for the second time in a month, with the former seeking to earn revenge, having lost 3-2 at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
