2022 World Cup Qualification: Tanzania have a mountain to climb – Poulsen

The Danish tactician is not carried away by the Taifa Stars’ bright start en route to next year’s global football showpiece

Coach Kim Poulsen stated that Tanzania have ‘a mountain to climb’ towards qualifying for the 2022 Fifa World Cup in Qatar.

Although Taifa Stars are the lowest-ranked team in Group J that boasts Benin Republic, DR Congo and Madagascar, the East Africans lead the zone with four points.

They settled for a 1-1 draw away in Lubumbashi on September 2, and Tanzania followed it up with a hard-fought 3-2 triumph over the Barea five days later.
