The Central African Republic will meet Mauritania on Saturday, 9 August, at 14:00 GMT in a decisive African Nations Championship (CHAN) group-stage fixture at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium in Dar es Salaam.
With neither side having recorded a win so far, the match carries a simple equation: victory or an early exit from the competition.
Both teams arrive under considerable pressure. The Central African Republic, defeated in their opening game, have no margin for error if they are to keep their tournament hopes alive.
Mauritania, having drawn their first match before slipping to defeat in their second, face an equally stark reality. Only three points will give them a chance of progressing.
Group dynamics have intensified the stakes. This is a section where points are hard to come by, and the margins between qualification and elimination are thin.
For both camps, this encounter represents their last realistic shot at survival in CHAN 2024.
