Uganda U17 defender Hamuza Sengooba says personal mentality and individual preparation will be key as the Uganda Cubs enter their final days before the FIFA U17 World Cup Qatar 2025.
Sengooba emphasises that his focus is on approaching the tournament with discipline both on and off the pitch. He believes this will allow him to perform at his highest level and contribute effectively to the team.
Sengooba said that the right mental approach will shape his performance. He added that preparing well as an individual will help him push to play well and position himself to be useful to the team.
‘Personally of course I should have the right mentality and come with the right energy on and off the pitch. Starting on the game preparations as an individual and having the right mindset will help me bring the right performance on the pitch and push as much as I can so as to play well and also help the team get the positive result we want.’
Uganda will take part in their first ever FIFA World Cup. The Cubs are placed in Group K with Canada, Chile and France.
