Tanzania vs South Africa: Match Preview & Score Prediction
Kick-off is at 8 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on beIN Sports, CANAL+, New WorldTV, SuperSport, Azam Media, SABC, Ziggo, BAND, SportTV, and Arena Sport.
The defending champions made a statement in their opening match, beating Ghana 2–0 thanks to goals from Linda Motlhalo and Jermaine Seoposenwe. That win extended South Africa's unbeaten run in 2024 to eight straight victories, with six clean sheets and 17 goals scored along the way. Another three points in this game would guarantee safe passage to the last eight.
For Tanzania, the margin for error is now razor thin. A narrow 1–0 defeat to Mali in their opener has left them needing at least a point to keep hopes alive of sneaking through as one of the best third-placed sides. But facing Banyana Banyana – a side brimming with experience and pedigree – is no easy task.
Twiga Stars showed promise in qualifying, but have looked short of ideas against top-tier opposition. They were humbled 3–0 by Morocco in a pre-tournament friendly and struggled to threaten Mali.
Score Prediction:
South Africa are simply a level above. Desiree Ellis' team are organised, clinical, and battle-hardened. Barring a miracle, this should be a routine win.

Hakimi, Bounou Named in Club World Cup Best XI
Rabat – Moroccan internationals Yassine Bounou and Achraf Hakimi left their mark on the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, earning places in the tournament's best XI after a series of standout performances in the US. Bounou, who plays for Saudi club Al-Hilal, stood tall throughout the tournament. In a tightly contested match against Manchester City, he made 10 saves, matching a tournament record. His efforts helped the club reach the quarter-finals, where they narrowly lost 2-1 to Fluminense. At the other end of the field, Hakimi brought speed and control to PSG's right flank. The right-back scored in a 4-0 victory over Inter Miami and delivered consistent performances despite scorching heat and difficult weather conditions. PSG reached the final but were outclassed 3-0 by Chelsea. The Best XI also includes Marquinhos and Vitinha (PSG), Cucurella, Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, and Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Thiago Silva and Jhon Arias (Fluminense), and Gonzalo Garcia (Real Madrid). This first-ever edition of the tournament brought together 32 clubs from six football federations in a World Cup-style format. Tags: 2025 FIFA Club World CupbounouClub World Cup Best XIFootballHakimi

WAFCON 2024: Ghana vs Tanzania – Preview & Score Prediction
Ghana and Tanzania head into a decisive Group C clash at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, with both sides chasing a lifeline to the quarter-finals. Kick-off is at 8 p.m. Moroccan time (GMT+1), and fans can catch the action live on beIN Sports, CANAL+, New WorldTV, SuperSport, Azam Media, SABC, Ziggo, BAND, SportTV, and Arena Sport. The Black Queens have just one point after a 2-0 defeat to South Africa and a 1-1 draw with Mali. Tanzania also sit on a point, having lost narrowly to Mali and held South Africa. Victory is non-negotiable for Ghana if they are to stand a chance of sneaking into the next round as one of the best third-placed teams. Tanzania, on the other hand, could scrape through with a draw, depending on results elsewhere. Both teams have struggled to convert chances, but Ghana's experience may just tip the balance. If we're calling it, Ghana 2-1 Tanzania feels about right. Tags: GhanaTanzaniaWOmen's Africa Cup of Nations
