Fenerbahce striker Mbwana Samatta is the first foreign-based player to report to the Tanzania national team camp as they prepare to face Burundi in a friendly on October 11.
The Taifa Stars captain who scored two goals for Fenerbahce as the Turkish giants defeated Fatih Karagumruk 2-1 in his full Super Lig debut on Saturday, arrived in Kampala in the late hours of Tuesday and immediately headed to the team’s residential training ahead of the build-up set for Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on Sunday.
Samatta moved to Fenerbahce on loan from Premier League side Aston Villa and had a memorable outing as he made his first start in the Turkish Super Lig at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
