Players to Watch
Tunisia
Elias Achouri
Already finding form at the tournament and a key creator with goals and incisive play. Elias Achouri has two goals so far at the 2025 AFCON.
Ellyes Skhiri
A strong presence in midfield with an eye for goal from late runs and set-pieces. Ellyes Skhiri has already netted once at the ongoing edition.
Tanzania
Mbwana Samatta
A returning talisman and focal point of the Taifa Stars attack, capable of unlocking defences. Mbwana Samatta is their captain, and so often, their source of inspiration.
Simon Msuva
Often involved in the build-up and chance creation with his clever movement. Simon Msuva scored their first ever AFCON goal in their 1-1 draw against Uganda on Saturday.
