Said Micho
The Gambian Scorpions are preparing for their AFCON 2017 qualifiers game against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana on Saturday.
In a related development, Khalid Aucho, after joining the rest of the players at Sky Hotel Naalya ,the Kenyan based Ugandan international who features for Gor Mahia vowed to fight up to the last man to see that the Uganda Cranes team wins.
Talking to www.fufa.co.ug, Aucho related playing for a national team to a war where a soldier either surrenders and enemies take over or fights to save the nation.
Being at a national team means you are representing all Ugandans , so you need to give in all because every one in Uganda is looking on to you .This time our aim is too win and qualify for AFCON 2017
Said Aucho.
