Tanzania/Ethiopia: Tanzania and Ethiopia in Stalemate, Libya Held by Rwanda in Qualifiers

Tanzania and Ethiopia kicked off their 2025 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification campaign with a goalless draw in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday.

Both teams struggled to create clear-cut opportunities in the Group H qualifying match characterized by physical battles and cautious play.

The opening minutes were marked by a lack of attacking urgency from both sides. Tanzania managed a few attempts on goal, but Ethiopian goalkeeper Seid Habtamu Aregawi was largely untroubled.
