Afcon Qualifiers: Uganda midfielder Azira believes Group B is still open

Uganda Cranes midfielder Micheal Azira believes Group B is still open and all the teams have a chance of qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

With two matchdays remaining, Burkina Faso lead the race with eight points, one more than the second-placed East Africans. Malawi are third with four points while South Sudan are at the bottom with three.

The New Mexico United player is hopeful his team will qualify for the third Afcon competition in a row but they have to first do it against the Burkinabes on Wednesday, March 24.
