Uganda Cranes head coach, Paul Joseph Put, says his team will aim to deliver an impressive performance against South Sudan’s Bright Stars as the national team looks to continue their unbeaten run in the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers.
With the top two teams from each group guaranteed qualification for Morocco 2025, the Uganda Cranes are focused on improving their chances with a home victory tomorrow.
“We are playing at home, and if we want to qualify for AFCON, then we have to get results. The players know they need to have engagement and concentration like they did in the other games,” said Put.
After days of training at Namboole, team captain Khalid Aucho expressed optimism ahead of the derby fixture. “The team is in a good position, and all the players are fine. It’s a derby, so it will be a tough one. I know the boys will do a good job,” Aucho noted.
Tickets for the match are on sale at UGX 25,000 for ordinary, UGX 50,000 for VIP, and UGX 150,000 for platinum. South Sudan’s Bright Stars will host the return leg on Tuesday at the Juba National Stadium.
