Brothers set for World Cup battle

Plans are on for the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) to organise a series of friendly matches for the national U-20 soccer team ahead of the 2016 FIFA Women’s World Cup qualifiers.

The national netball team, Taifa Queens, is set for a fierce battle when the African World Cup qualifiers planned for Gaborone, Botswana get underway in September.

A Fifa taskforce recommends that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should be shortened and take place in November and December.

 Plans are on for Tanzania Cricket Association (TCA) to organise a series of friendly matches for the national U-19 team ahead of the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers in Lusaka, Zambia.

South Sudan will play in their first World Cup qualifier when they face Mauritania on Wednesday, the first leg of their preliminary round tie.

Several African underdogs ignored the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking and held their own against more-fancied opposition as the African qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia entered the second round. Such lesser-known sides as Madagascar, Comoros, Swaziland and Chad achieved the biggest shocks.

The Confederation of African Football believes its decision to move the timing of the Cup of Nations is paying immediate dividends in Brazil.
