The team captain Andrew Mwesigwa along with all his teammates have vowed to live no stone unturned to ensure qualification for the Pearl of Africa in the fourth coming Africa Cup of Nations.
“We are ready to die a little for our country tomorrow to ensure that we qualify. We know the Guinea team will be more on pressure because we beat them 2-0 in Kampala,” Mwesigwa told the FUFA website.
The team is taking residence at the Hotel Casablanca Le Lido Thalasso & Spa in Morocco and are to put their muscles to work when they take on Guinea tomorrow as they conclude the 2015 AFOCN qualification campaign.
We wish them the best of luck.
