'We Respect Ethiopia' - Tanzania's National Women Football Coach
THE national women soccer team, Twiga Stars coach, Boniface Mkwasa was delighted to learn that his team next opponents in the Africa Women Championship (AWC) qualifiers would be Ethiopia, but said they will not underrate them.
Ethiopia cruised to the next round and booked a corresponding date with Twiga Stars after dispatching Egypt on Sunday. The Horn-of-Africa ladies nicknamed 'Dinkinesh' defeated their Egyptian counterparts 4-0 in the return leg match to advance to the first round on a 6-4 aggregate score.
They lost the first leg away in Cairo 4-2. And, Mkwasa insisted on Tuesday that the objective is to make it to the finals in Equatorial Guinea, saying further that he is confident Twiga Stars can get that far despite the problems that had faced the team in the past.
Mkwasa can see chinks in Ethiopians' armour and he definitely should have an idea of how to beat them because this is not the first time the two teams would be paired together. Twiga Stars sent Ethiopia packing in the same qualifiers on a 4-2 aggregate in 2009.
