AFCON 2025 teams from Tanzania vs Tunisia Tanzania and Tunisia complete their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Group C campaigns against each other on Tuesday in Rabat. The Taifa Stars must win to reach the last 16 after losing 2-1 to Nigeria and taking the lead before drawing 1-1 with Uganda. 2004 champions Tunisia have started their campaign with a 3-1 win against Uganda and 3-2 defeat to Nigeria, meaning a point will guarantee a place in the last 16.

Instead of analysing current form or picking the best players available today, Gavi decided to look back. He challenged himself to build a starting XI made up exclusively of teammates he had played alongside during his formative years at Barcelona.

It was built from memory, emotion, and shared moments inside the dressing room at La Masia and during his first steps as a professional footballer.

Amad is not here, head coach Amorim told reporters on Friday. Someone in his family passed away, so we are giving all the support to Amad. We understood that it was important for him to have his time and to return home. He added: We can win without Amad and we want to win also for Amad. Amad's place in attack falls to summer signing Matheus Cunha, fit again after returning from a hamstring injury off the bench last time out.
