Uganda’s national football team, “The Cranes” train at the Nyayo National Stadium on November 15, 2020 on eve of their Africa Cup of Nations Group ‘B’ qualifier against South Sudan.
“The Cranes” are second in Group ‘B’ with seven points after three matches and a win in Nairobi will all but assure them of a place in the regional showpiece that will be held in Cameroon in 2022 January.
“The Cranes” forward Allan Okello has urged his teammates not to underrate South Sudan. “We did a lot of mistakes during the first leg and hope that we shall have a far much better game on Monday. All the players are in good shape ahead of the match.
Africa’s youngest nation, South Sudan, hosts Uganda Cranes in a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the Nyayo National Stadium in Nairobi on Monday from 4pm.
Uganda won the first leg encounter played at the St Mary’s Stadium in Kitende on Thursday 1-0 courtesy of a Halid Lwaliwa late header. South Sudan are using Nairobi as their temporary home-ground as their stadium in Juba is not yet ready to host international matches.
