Historical Uganda Cubs Enter World Cup Knock Out On Debut.
James Bogere’s 18th minute strike after first class ingenuity by team Captain Hamuza Ssengooba for the assist is all Uganda needed to edge fancied France in the final group K game to seal a place into the round of 32 at the FIFA World Cup U-17 at the Aspire pitch 2 in Qatar.
At that stage, Uganda will play Senegal this coming Saturday in a 3.30pm kick off at the Aspire Zone pitch 7.
This outing will go down as one of Uganda’s football merriest moment because prior to this no team had ever played at a football World Cup.
The Cubs didn’t start as expected at this tournament,falling 2-1 to late Canada goals and then needed a late Derrick Ssozi strike to draw 1-all against Chile in order to stand any chance in the final group game especially after France and Canada has shared the spoils to go top with four points each.
In the final group K game, the Cubs arrived as the underdogs but the sublime finish by Bogere who has now scored twice at the tournament cemented the team’s place among the best.
It however didn’t come easy.
Going into the final game,Uganda was third in the group and thus out of the two automatic qualifying slots.
But the players, coaching staff and the nation knew that there was a window for history as one of the best eight third placed teams that will make the next round of football.
If Uganda negotiates Senegal that topped group C,Germany or Burkina Faso lay in wait at the round of 16.
