Coach Mette said the objective is to progress, but stressed that Tusker are also laying the foundation for sustained success.
Tusker captain Aboud Omar said they are ready for the challenge after gaining valuable experience at the Cecafa Kagame Cup.
Tusker coach Julien Mette has challenged his players to make a statement on their return to continental football when they face Sudan’s Al Ahli Madani in the CAF Confederation Cup first qualifying round, first leg in Kigali, Rwanda, on Sunday.
Mette said his team's ambition stretches beyond simply surviving the opening stages to fighting it out in the group phase.
