Nigeria arrived in Morocco last Thursday after a five-day pre-tournament camp in Egypt, which included a 2-1 friendly defeat to the host nation.

Since then, the three-time African champions have conducted multiple training sessions to refine tactics and strategies ahead of the competition.

Tanzania, coached by Miguel Gamondi, is making only its fourth appearance at AFCON, with group stage exits in 1980, 2019, and 2023.

The Taifa Stars are yet to secure a win in nine previous matches, drawing three and losing six.

Key players include captain Mbwana Samatta (Le Havre, Ligue 1) and Simon Msuva (Iraq), with wing-back Mohammed Hussein and midfielder Feisal Salum bolstering their squad.

Following the opener, Nigeria will face Tunisia on December 27 and Uganda on December 30 in Group C. The Super Eagles, runners-up at the previous AFCON, aim to clinch their fourth continental title after victories in 1980, 1994, and 2013.

The tournament kicked off on Sunday with hosts Morocco defeating Comoros.

Other opening group matches include Mali vs Zambia (Group A), Egypt vs Zimbabwe, and South Africa vs Angola (Group B).
