I will not play in the 2021 Afcon edition - Uganda's Wasswa

Uganda defensive midfielder Hassan Wasswa has confirmed he would not be part of the next team that will play should the country qualify for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

The widely travelled star has played for the national team since 2006 and has made 76 appearances but he believes by the time the next edition is held, perhaps in 2021, he would have vacated his place for younger players.

“Any time, I will be retiring from international football, I know by the next Afcon, I will have left the team to give young boys space but for now, I feel, I still have the energy to play for my country and I love it so much,” Wasswa told Sports256.
