Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The head coach of Uganda\u2019s U-20 women\u2019s team, Ayub Khalifah Kiyingi, has expressed confidence in his team\u2019s preparations to face Senegal in the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup qualifiers.<\/b><\/p>\n

Senegal will host Uganda in what promises to be a tightly contested match on Saturday in the first leg of the third round World Cup qualifiers. However, Kiyingi, who announced his final traveling squad on Wednesday night, shared with Xinhua that thorough preparations have been made in anticipation of the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have done our homework and know about the Senegal team. It will be very important to get a good result before the return leg in Uganda,\u201d said Kiyingi. The coach\u2019s remarks came just hours before the team embarked on their journey to Senegal on an Ethiopian Airlines flight.<\/p>\n

Uganda advanced to this stage with a decisive 8-0 aggregate victory over Mozambique, while Senegal progressed by defeating Benin in the second round of the qualifiers. The winner of the Senegal-Uganda matchup will then face the victor of the Eswatini-Ghana tie in the fourth round.<\/p>\n

The competition remains fierce within the Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) Zone, with Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Burundi still vying for a chance to progress in the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, four teams from Africa will earn their place at the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup in Colombia, representing CAF on the world stage.<\/p>\n
