Tanzania: All eyes are on the upcoming return legs of the Confederation Cup and Champions League qualifiers that promise to be pivotal for the nation’s clubs. The first legs have yielded mixed results, particularly for Singida Black Stars, who recently drew 1-1 against Flambeau du Centre in Burundi.
