In the CHAN TotalEnergies PAMOJA 2025, Tanzania has emerged as one of the tournament’s standout teams. Already through to the quarterfinals with three straight wins, their success is built on team unity—and five exceptional players who’ve lit up the pitch.
Midfield maestro Feisal Salum Abdallah is the creative heartbeat of the Taifa Stars. Named Man of the Match against Burkina Faso, his vision and calm control dictate Tanzania’s attacking rhythm. Alongside him, Mudathir Abbas Yahya Abasi anchors the midfield with smart positioning and crisp passing.
Defensively, Shomari Salum Kapombe is a rock on the right flank. His last-minute goal against Mauritania was a turning point, showcasing his dual threat. Up front, Clement Francis Mzize has proven lethal, scoring twice against Madagascar with clinical precision.
Completing the quintet is Hussein Shabani, whose opening goal of the tournament set the tone for Tanzania’s campaign. These five stars are the driving force behind a team chasing its first continental title.
With roaring home support and a record-breaking presidential bonus, Tanzania marches confidently into the knockout rounds. The dream is alive—and these five players are leading the charge.
