World Cup draw: Uganda confident of top spot – McKinstry

The Northern Irish coach remains confident the Cranes will beat any team in the Africa qualifiers for the World Cup

Ugandan coach Johnny McKinstry has stated they are ready to face any team in the African qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.

The draw for the qualifiers will take place in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, where a total of 54 African nations who took part in the qualifying phase will learn their opponents to ultimately determine which five nations will represent the continent in Qatar.

Speaking ahead of the draw, McKinstry, who took over the Cranes mantle from Sebastien Desabre, insists the country can make it to Qatar with proper planning and pointed out the team’s win against Egypt at home during the past qualifiers as a stepping stone to do better this term.
