Tanzania have booked a place in the final of the CECAFA U-17 Women’s Championship 2026.
The hosts saw off South Sudan 4-0 in the second semi-final match played on Sunday at the KMC Stadium in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Bahat Kizanguzi and Harrier Juma gave Tanzania a 2-0 half time lead as the home side dominated play and run rings around South Sudan.
After recess South Sudan tried to compact their defensive midfield with Gal Adhel and Amel Achuil, but still failed to stop the free flowing Tanzanian team. Yasinta Kaluwa made it 3-0 after 57 minutes, before Kizanguzi netted her second goal of the day after 78 minutes.
“We are happy to reach the final and we prepare well ahead of the match against Uganda,” said the Tanzania captain Harrier Juma.
To reach the final Tanzania defeated Somalia and Sudan, and settled for a 1- draw against Kenya in the last Group A match.
The play-off match to decide the third best team will see Kenya face South Sudan, while Uganda face Tanzania in the final with all matches to be played on Tuesday at the KMC Stadium.
