Afcon 2019: Uganda to fight for World Cup slot after exit – Alan Kateregga

Uganda Cranes midfielder Alan Kateregga believes inexperience was the reason why his side was eliminated from 2019 African Cup of Nations finals by Senegal.

A Sadio Mane strike was all the Lions of Teranga needed to eliminate the last remaining East African side from the competition.

Speaking to reporters after the match, the attacking midfielder admitted their Afcon target had been met but next time will be better.

“It [elimination] has everything to do with inexperience, we were here last time [2017] and this, next time we should be better.

“We came and made it to the Round of 16 which was our main target.
