Bundles of joy continue to cape family of legendary Ugandan singer Moses Ssali famously known by stage names Bebe Cool after their son Alpha Thierry Ssali made a debut at the National team.
Bebe Cool’s family
Bebe Cool’s son, Alpha came-in as a substitute for the Uganda Hippos (U20) thrashed Burundi during a Group B clash of the 2020 CECAFA U-20 Challenge Cup at the Shiekh Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha on Wednesday.
It was such unbearable anxiety to Bebe Cool’s family, friends, fans and well-wishers as they couldn’t wait to see Alpha roll onto the pitch smartly fitted in his number 20 jersey.
Upon him bouncing on the pitch touch-line for a substitute, Bebe Cool and wife Zuena Kirema flashed photos captured from their home TV set confirming Alpha’s involvement in the ruthless mission of the Uganda Hippos team to Burundi.
It seems this was the perfect time Bebe Cool and wife had eagerly held to have the miraculous tale of their son Alpha’s soccer journey.
According to Zuena, Alpha started his soccer journey at the age of 3yrs at Proline Soccer Academy under stewardship of renowned Uganda Sports personality, Mr. Mujib Kasule.

Bebe likely told the same story about his soccer youngster and thanked God for such a blessing to his family.
“It is until at the age of 16yrs that he has made it to the Uganda Hippos (U20) but still with aid of Proline Soccer Academy.
What begun like a dream or what most called a joke will soon become real.
At 16 years, Alpha Thierry Ssali today made his international debut in the CECAFA zonal qualifiers. The hippos U20 beat Burundi 6:1.
The pictures below tell the story of a God fearing, hardworking, humble, respectful, focused young man. Congz my son and may Allah grant you all your wishes,” Bebe Cool wrote.

Zuena expressed her sincere appreciation to Proline Soccer Academy CEO, Mr. Mujib Kasule for his love to shape and mentor her son to such a talent that the country would look-up-to in the future.
“My baby has come from far, Mukama atenderezebwe always. He started his soccer journey at the age of 3yrs at Proline Soccer Academy and at the age of 16yrs he has made it to the National team ( Uganda Cranes U20) Mashallah 🙏
Alpha is currently the Captain of Proline soccer Academy U17 and has won many awards.
A special thanks to Mujib Kasule who has mentored and shaped him, (Mujib you’re God sent Alhamdullilah) and all the other coaches that i haven’t mentioned here…thank you so much.
This boy is the real definition of hard work and not forgetting prayers. Allah has done it 💯 We are so proud of you Alpha Ssali ❤ and we believe this is just the beginning. Mashallah 🙏 Alhamdullilah,” Zuena stated.
This is typically the ‘Wakayima’ singer’s dream emancipated by God as he is recalled 12years ago to have promised the country about his son Alpha once making news in the world of football.
To emphasize his goal, Bebe Cool and wife named their son Alpha after renowned Arsenal and French footballer, Thierry Henry.
Since then, the lovely parents have heaped endless support towards their son Alpha’s soccer career not forgetting education.
Congratulations Alpha Ssali!
