'We will bring it home' - Uganda's Khalifah vows to pip South Africa to Cosafa U17 Women's Cup title

Uganda coach Ayub Khalifah has stated his side will defeat South Africa to lift the Cosafa U17 Women's Cup on Sunday.

In Friday's semi-final, Fauzia Najjemba scored six goals to help the Ugandans thrash Botswana 12-0 at St Francis-Xavier Stadium, setting up a final date with South Africa, who edged Zambia 2-1.

And the young Crested Cranes coach has backed the Mukono High School young sensation to inspire the side to success in Mauritius.

“I always look to build-up my team from the midfield but this time Najjemba was the outstanding player, she stepped up her game and that’s what we expect from her,” Ayub told the media.
