Uganda trust six U17 stars for Fifa U20 World Cup qualifier against Tanzania

Crested Cranes head coach Oliver Mbekeka has named the squad which will face Tanzania in a Fifa U20 Women's World Cup qualifier on Sunday.

Mbekeka has included six players from the U17 side which defeated Ethiopia recently at the StarTimes Stadium in their previous qualifier. The new players were also key when Uganda lifted the inaugural Cecafa U17 Girls' Championship at home in December.

U17 striker Juliet Nalukenge, Fauzia Najjemba, Margret Kunihira, Stella Musibika, Bira Naddunga, and Joan Namusisi are the youngsters who have earned the faith of the coach ahead of the first leg tie in Dar es Salaam.
