Fifa should find U20 World Cup solution for Uganda's development - Byekwaso

U20 Uganda coach Morley Byekwaso has challenged world football governing body Fifa to come up with ways to ensure the U20 World Cup is played.

The Hippos reached the finals of the Africa U20 Cup of Nations where they lost 2-0 to Ghana thanks to a brace from Daniel Afriyie. As it has been the norm, the last four teams were to qualify for the global competition that was initially scheduled to be played in Indonesia but was cancelled owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The tactician, however, believes something can be done to ensure the competition is played because cancelling it means some players will not get the opportunity again.
