The Uganda U-17 Women’s National Team head coach, Sheryl Botes Ulanda has rallied Ugandans to support the Teen Cranes as they gear up for their FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualification matches against Namibia.
Speaking ahead of the crucial fixtures, Coach Botes praised the role of schools’ football in developing young talent, highlighting that most of the 39 players named in the provisional squad are products of schools competitions.
She emphasized that such grassroots initiatives remain pivotal for the growth of women’s football in Uganda. “Our young stars are the future of football in Uganda, and they need the country’s full backing to succeed on this big stage. Schools football has played a vital role in nurturing these players, and their hard work is about to pay off,” Botes said.
