Tanzania coach Suleiman wary of Super Eagles’ attacking prowess

Head coach of the Tanzania national team, Hemed Suleiman, has commended the attacking strength of the Super Eagles of Nigeria ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations scheduled to start in Morocco this December.

Tanzania is in the same Group C as Nigeria, Tunisia, and Uganda for the continental tournament.

Speaking in an interview with CAF, Suleiman hailed the quality in the Nigerian squad. “You are in a tricky group that includes Nigeria, Tunisia, and Uganda. Each opponent presents a distinct challenge. How will you approach them?” Hemed said.

“Nigeria is full of attacking talent and lethal creativity. They punish lapses in concentration,” he noted.

He pointed out that every team in Group C has its own uniqueness.

“Tunisia is tactically disciplined and difficult to break down—a team that tests your patience,” he added.

“Uganda brings possession-based hunger and fight; their regional rivalry makes that fixture special. We will tailor our approach per game but without losing our own identity.”

Nigeria will go into the 2025 AFCON tournament as one of the favourites, having finished as finalists in the last edition.
