As the Uganda Cranes get closer to Saturday’s Total AFCON Cameroon 2019 qualifier against Cape Verde, the mood in the camp at Kabira Country Club, Bukoto is impressive and promising.
All the players are fully fit (physically and mentally) for the game that Uganda requires to win or pick at least a point to seal the AFCON slot, for the second time in a row.
From the basis of Thursday’s training session, all the players expressed their readiness to take on the opponents with spirited display in training whose focus included pressing, playing under minimal spaces, inter-play, shooting and lots of stretching.
There is one last training session on Friday morning before the visitors who arrived on Thursday afternoon also take to the field later in the evening.
Uganda Cranes leads group L with 10 points and a point would be good enough to seal qualification.
Tickets go for 15,000/=, 40,000/= and 150,000/= in the ordinary, VIP and VVIP categories.
Meanwhile, the management of Mandela National Stadium has also indicated their readiness to host the big game come Saturday.
