He added that they have been training well and just like Uganda, they also have some experienced players who have played in the international scene including captain Rakep Patel, Shem Ngoche, and Collins Obuya.
“So far, preparations have been okay and we have a bunch of experienced players and we have been working on our fitness levels. We have the skills. We are expecting to perform,” he said.
