Uganda’s URA prepare for Zanaco in Addis
After claiming a slim 1-0 win over Zambia’s Zanaco FC in the first leg of the Orange CAF Champions League, Uganda’s URA are taking nothing to chance as they have camped in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to prepare for the second leg.
The Ugandan champions will battle Zanaco on February 28 in Lusaka, Zambia
Handled by former Ugandan international Moses Basena, URA, the Ugandan Revenue Authority team settled for a goalless draw against Ethiopian giants St. George on Sunday. They are meant to face Confederations Cup envoys Banks FC later tonight.
St. George’s Serbian tactician Micho Sredojevic who handled Uganda’s SC Villa six years ago praised URA and said they are good enough to make progress in the continent’s prestigious club competition.
“URA is a good team. They are competitive enough and have the experience to succeed in the tournament,” said Sredojevic.
URA claimed a 1-0 win over Zambia champions Zanaco in the first leg and all that they need to progress is a win in Lusaka or securing any draw to guarantee qualification to the first round.
While URA are getting charged and ready ahead of the return tie in Lusaka, Sredojevic will also have to fine tune his side ahead of the tricky visit to Khartoum to face El Merreikh in the return leg of Orange CAF Champions League. The two teams settled for a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
