Tanzania's national team, the Taifa Stars, have arrived in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying encounter against Nigeria's Super Eagles.
The Tanzanian delegation landed in Nigeria five days before the scheduled fixture, allowing the team time to adjust to the local weather and playing conditions before facing the three-time African champions.
Their early arrival underlines the importance Tanzania have attached to the encounter, with the visitors hoping to make the most of their preparation time and deliver a positive result against Nigeria.
The timing of their arrival has also drawn attention because Super Eagles players are yet to begin reporting to the national team's camp.
The difference in the two teams' preparations could become a talking point as Nigeria prepares to assemble their squad and begin training for the encounter.
The match will be played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo, where the Super Eagles will look to make home advantage count.
