Ugandan midfielder Hassan Wasswa has stressed the importance of the Cranes getting a win in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers opener.
Wasswa, who plays for Saudi Arabian club Jeddah, has insisted beating Burkina Faso in their opener away in Ouagadougou would go a long way in securing qualification.
“We have to give our best there so we can take care of business at Namboole,” Wasswa is quoted by Daily Monitor. “It’s those points away that make you qualify.”
