Taifa Stars head coach Miguel Gamondi has called up Iddi Seleman Nado as a late addition to Tanzania’s squad ahead of their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
Nado’s inclusion follows the withdrawal of Young Africans players Clement Mzize and Dickson Job, who are still undergoing medical supervision.
Young Africans requested the release of both players because of their ongoing medical assessments.
The 31-year-old Nado plays as a winger for Azam FC in Tanzania’s NBC Premier League. He has scored once in 11 appearances for the national team.
He was among the Tanzanian players who travelled to Uyo on Monday ahead of Friday’s Matchday Three fixture at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.
Gamondi’s side will be seeking their first win in the qualifiers after recording one draw and one defeat in their opening two matches.
Tanzania will welcome the Super Eagles to the Amman Stadium in Zanzibar next Tuesday for their Matchday Four encounter.
