- The Media for the role of the 4th The positive criticism helped us improve; the unjustified propaganda motivated us to work harder. In general there was a huge improvement in the support we got from the media compared to the previous campaigns. Many of you have covered your first ever AFCON finals and you must have learnt a lot more just like us.
- Ugandans and those who support Uganda for the love. Starting from those who watch the league matches at all levels to those who come to Namboole. FUFA highly appreciates the fans that travelled to Gabon and also those who remained home and followed us on TV. I will never forget 2 emotional moments in our engagement with the fans; In Abu Dhabi where Ugandans lay in the way of the bus carrying the team to stadium for the match against Slovakia and when we got out in Entebbe on returned and found thousands of fans waiting in the middle of the night for the team that had not progressed beyond the group stage. I thank all those fans whom we find us and they congratulate us because they indeed appreciate the work in progress. Radio Simba did a wonderful job in mobilizing the fans that turned up on Friday when the team returned home from Gabon.
- FUFA President also talked about the possibility of hosting the 2025 AFCON finals but that would need alot of support and green light from Government.
