Uganda U-17 national women football team, officially started training today Friday, 09th October 2020 at Lugogo ahead of Cameroon double header fixture.
The 2019 CECAFA U-17 women championship winners entered residential camp on Monday and today, they have kick started on pitch training and assistant coach Hadijah Namuyanja revealed the drills done on day one.
“The girls have been working from home because we have been giving them notes via social media” Ayub Khalifa’s assistant said before adding.
“Today we worked on body conditioning, their agility to play and they are not badly off. And no doubt our girls are very talented and skilled but it’s our role as coaches to remind them and put them in position to play.”
The head coach Ayub Khalifa Kiyingi didn’t attend the team’s training session for the first time since he was handed the role. This is because on Thursday 08th October 2020, he tested positive to COVID-19 and was asked to go into self isolation and the doctors monitor him.
In November this year, Uganda will have double header fixture against the west African giants Cameroon in FIFA Women World Cup U17 qualifiers.
The aggregate winner will join the other two qualified countries to represent Africa in the final tournament to be hosted by India in 2021.
To reach this level Uganda eliminated Ethiopia on aggregate 5-1 and Tanzania 6-2 after the double fixture.
Thirty players were summoned.
