Uganda U20 Women’s National Team Head Coach, Ayub Khalifa Kiyingi has warned his charges against complacency as the team continues with preparations for the encounter against Kenya.
Uganda registered a convincing win (7-2) in the first leg of the 2022 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Qualifiers at Nyayo National Stadium but Kiyingi indicates the tie is far from over with the return leg slated for 8th October at St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.
“We had a convincing victory in the first leg which is very good but we should not rest on our laurels thinking the job is done,” he stated before adding, ” our opponents are preparing and perhaps will come back better and try to overturn the first leg deficit.” He said.
The coach insists he is trying to show the players that there is still something to fight for and thus discouraging complacency.
“I’m trying to show the players that the job is not yet done. We need to be more serious than even before we played the first game.”
Should Uganda go ahead to eliminate Kenya, either South Africa or Mozambique wait next in line at the second qualifying phase.
