The Uganda U17 Women’s National Football team coach Ayub Kiyingi has summoned a squad of 50 players to start preparing for the first round of the FIFA U17 Women World Cup qualifiers, India 2022 against Ethiopia.
‘The reason behind summoning such a big number is basically because these girls for more than 2 years have not been playing any competitive football so we mainly relied on the recommendation of the various coaches who we contacted seeking their help to share names of players they feel have the potential to play for the national team. In the next two weeks my technical team is going to engage in a vigorous exercise of preparing these girls for the task at hand and for that I promise by the time we face Ethiopia we will be ready for the challenge.” Ayub Khalifa Kiyingi stated upon releasing the squad.
Uganda is slated to host the first leg of the two encounters between CECAFA rivals on March 4th before travelling to the horn of Africa nation for the return leg fixture two weeks later.
The team will start residential training on Saturday February 12, 2022 at the FUFA Technical Centre in Njeru.
The technical team will comprise of; Ayub Khalifa Kiyingi – Head Coach, Olive Mbekeka – Assistant coach, Arthur Kyesimire – Fitness coach, James Magala – GoalKeepers’ coach, Cissy Nakiguba – Equipment manager, Stella Nankumba and Kabatalindwa Mable – Team Medics.
