GOtv is the best companion in football, so of course, They will be bringing even more African flair in the next round of fixtures in the qualifying stages for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, which will take place in Morocco next year.
Football fans can sign up for the Supa+ package to avoid disappointment as the promotion is still running.
Tuesday, November 19, 2024, is set to be an absolute bash as the final round of fixtures in the qualifiers comes to its conclusion. A number of countries will be playing for their pride and dignity, while others will look to assert their dominance.
Cameroon will go up against Zimbabwe at Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Group J and the stakes are high as both nations have already sealed their fate and will be featuring in the next continental showpiece.
The Indomitable Lions are a force to be reckoned with in African football, winning the AFCON a stunning five times (1984, 1988, 2000, 2002, 2017). To top it all off, the nation is the first and, as of 2022, the only African team to defeat Brazil in tournament play.
However, Zimbabwe are on the rise right now and will not be a walk in the park to defeat. The Warriors are currently on a high following the confirmation that they will be taking part in the next AFCON.
Khama Billiat retired from the national team but made his comeback recently, and he is most certainly getting back to his best. Even so, his coach Michael Nees, has outlined the steps that need to be taken to ensure that he stays in the fold.
“When I watched all the games in Zimbabwe, I felt there was a player missing behind the striker who could make a difference,” said Nees.
“They were all good footballers and very powerful, but there was something like a creative heart missing. I know Khama from back then and his football career. I observed how he performed when he was back in Zimbabwe.”
“So, I approached him and the club [Yadah FC] as well. It wasn’t just a matter of calling him and saying we want you back in the squad. Khama and other players have conditions, and those conditions are not about money or anything like that. They have conditions that the things around the team are run fully professionally.”
Now that Billiat is almost back to perfect form, it’s up to the team to work around his return and ensure that he’ll be 100% by the time the competition takes place.
Tuesday also brings a potentially mouthwatering clash between Tanzania and Guinea in Group H at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium in Dar es Salaam, as both sides seek to grab the remaining ticket to the tournament.
The Taifa Stars find themselves in a “must-win” situation, as anything less than that is insufficient to get them over the line. In the 2023 edition of the AFCON, head coach Adel Amrouche described the tournament as the most significant event in Africa.
“The players know that this is a big tournament and is the grandest occasion in Africa. It is going to give them significant exposure when they play against the prominent nations of African football,” said the former CR Belouizdad player at the time.
“It is the greatest occasion and it’s a good dream to play in the AFCON. I am happy for these players, and they deserve to be here.” With that being said, Tanzania will likely stop at nothing to ensure that they’ll be playing in the competition back-to-back.
