Tanzania national team captain Mbwana Samatta has continued to shine in France’s Ligue 1 after scoring again in a match played on Sunday, April 26, 2026.
Samatta, who plays for Le Havre AC, scored an early goal in the opening minutes against FC Metz in a thrilling encounter that ended in a 4-4 draw.
The goal adds to his growing contribution for Le Havre, a club that continues to fight in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues.
This is a continuation of strong form for the experienced striker, who has previously played for several clubs across Europe and now appears to be fully adapting to life in Ligue 1 while rediscovering his best form.
Beyond scoring, Samatta remains an important figure in Le Havre’s attacking setup, using his experience at international level to guide the team’s forward play.
His performances are also a major boost for Tanzania as the country prepares for AFCON 2027, which will be hosted jointly by Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.
