Afcon Qualifiers: We know we hurt Tanzanian fans – Samatta

Tanzania captain Mbwana Samatta has apologised to the fans after they missed out on a chance to participate at the Africa Cup of Nations finals.

The Taifa Stars were among the participants in the finals staged in Egypt in 2019 and were looking to make it their second straight appearance but it could not be the case as they finished third in Group J with leaders Tunisia and second-placed Equatorial Guinea qualifying.

After winning their final group match 1-0 against Libya at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium to reach seven points, Samatta spoke to Goal about their objectives.
