STWF SPORTS | FRISCO, Texas | November 3, 2026 – FC Dallas wingback Bernard Kamungo has earned another opportunity to represent his home country after receiving a call-up to Tanzania’s men’s national team for two upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Nigeria.
The international selection marks Kamungo’s second national team call-up of 2026 and represents another significant milestone in the 24-year-old’s professional career.
Tanzania will face Nigeria on Friday, November 13, at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 10 a.m. CT. The teams will meet again Tuesday, November 17, at Amaan Stadium in Tanzania, beginning at 7 a.m. CT.
The two-match international window provides Kamungo an opportunity to contribute to Tanzania’s qualifying campaign while continuing to build experience on the international stage.
Kamungo’s Development Continues at FC Dallas
Kamungo’s latest international recognition follows another productive season with FC Dallas.
The Kasulu, Tanzania, native has appeared in 23 matches during the 2026 MLS campaign, logging 1,703 minutes and establishing a new personal best with six assists.
His offensive contributions and ability to provide width from the wingback position have made him a valuable part of Dallas’ tactical approach.
Kamungo’s combination of pace, attacking instincts and work along the flank has provided FC Dallas with another option when building attacks and transitioning into scoring opportunities.
The club has posted a 10-2-6 record when Kamungo has been included in the starting lineup this season.
That record highlights his involvement in a successful Dallas campaign, although the team’s results reflect contributions throughout the roster.
