Uganda Cranes will be desperate to seal their spot in the round of 16 when they take on wounded Zimbabwe in their second group A game at the Cairo International Stadium

The King of Toro kingdom, Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV has advised the Uganda Cranes team not to underestimate any of their opponents in the AFCON tournament underway in Cairo, Egypt.

Attending the cranes training session, King Oyo asked the team to use the same energy they used to defeat DRC in their first game to win their next game this evening against Zimbabwe.

“Never underestimate your opponent, always respect them but do not fear them, as you go for the next game, you kill them off. I know if we win our next game, we will have qualified, I know all of you have individual capabilities of taking us to the next level, I believe in you,” said King Oyo.

The State Minister for Sports Charles Bakkabulindi who also graced the training advised the players to take tomorrow’s match against Zimbabwe seriously since are fighting for survival, unlike Uganda which is aiming at getting an early qualification slot in the tournament.
