Uganda U17 Women’s National team coach Ayub Khalifah Kiyingi has summoned a provisional squad of 30 players to start preparations ahead of the fixture against Cameroon in the FIFA U17 Women’s Wold Cup qualifiers.
The team will enter residential camp on Monday at Cranes Paradise Hotel after undergoing the mandatory tests for COVID-19 as guided by the Government.
The core of the team that has played in the previous qualifying games against Ethiopia and Tanzania has been maintained.
However, the coach has also named new faces some of which include goalkeeper Gift Nasasira from Maroons WFC, Winnifred Kwatulira – Jinja United FC, Devine Mirembe – Asubo Gafford Ladies FC and Kamuyati Naigaga among others.
Uganda will face Cameroon in the final qualifying hurdle with the first game slated to take place on 31st October in Kampala and the return leg two weeks later away.
