Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) has organized a three-nation tournament in preparations for the U17 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifiers.

Liberia and Malawi will participate in the tournament set to start on Tuesday as Tanzania up their preparations before engaging in the junior Afcon qualifiers for the 2021 edition.

“We have decided to call the U16 players because by next year they will be 17-year-olds and thus eligible for youth football competition,” TFF's Media Officer Clifford Ndimbo told Daily News.
