The Head Coach, Abdallah Mubiru, caught up with this website ahead of #KULKCCA and said,
We arrived safely in West Nile. Everyone is in good shape and we have trained well. Our concern is the playing surface which is not favorable to teams especially those playing in the top-flight league but these are the pitches teams from the lower leagues have and we must compete there. The players available for selection are in great spirits and hopefully they will get us to the next round tomorrow. We will be without Munguchi, Ssebaduka, Katenga, Lutalo, Magambo and Muhamud due to injuries. Anyama is away on compassionate leave. The rest of the squad is available for selection..
Abdallah Mubiru.
