The head coach of Somalia’s U-17 team, Mohamed Abdulkhadir Shikhdon has warned that his team is well prepared to face Uganda in the semi-final of the TotalEnergies CAF U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) – CECAFA qualifiers on Tusday.
South Sudan will face Tanzania in the first semi-final tie this afternoon, while Somalia, the reigning champions of the U-17 CECAFA Zone battle hosts Uganda. The matches will take place at the Nakivubo Hamz Stadium in Kampala.
Shikhdon who is based in Sweden has made it clear that after struggling to qualify for the knock out stage, they are more than hungry to prove a point when they face Uganda.
“We know what to expect against Uganda because we also beat them at the same level in 2022 in Ethiopia. We are going to be very cautious and also try to be sharp at goal because we have been missing several scoring opportunities,” added the Somalia coach.
