Tanzania’s Under-20 national team, ‘Ngorongoro Heroes’, will today make their final push for a spot in the CECAFA Qualifiers semi-finals as they face Rwanda at Azam Complex Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

Group B has already seen Uganda and Burundi secure their spots in the semi-finals, raising the question of which teams from Group A will join them.

With Tanzania, Sudan, Kenya and Rwanda all vying for advancement, the competition is intense. The outcomes of the upcoming matches will determine who earn the coveted semi-final slots.

The chances for Tanzania to break through to the semi-finals are real as Ngorongoro Heroes are on top of Group A, having collected six points from three games they have played so far, with Tanzania winning two of the three.

Tanzania currently leads the standings in the CECAFA Under-20 Qualifiers, closely followed by Sudan, who share the same points but the latter trails in goal difference.

Tanzania boasts of nine goals scored and has conceded only two, resulting in a goal difference of +7. In contrast, Sudan has netted four goals and conceded two, giving them a goal difference of +2.

This favourable goal difference places Tanzania in a strong position, but the team must remain vigilant.

Kenya, sitting third with four points from two matches, still have a chance to claim a semi-final spot. If Kenya win their remaining games against Djibouti and Sudan, they could reach a total of 10 points, surpassing both Tanzania and Sudan.
