FOOTBALL WATCH: Prime Minister Nabanjja gifts Crested Cranes players with cash after Rwanda win
Nabbanja, who is on official duty in Rwanda attending the Women Deliver summit, was among the Ugandan spectators at the game and went to congratulate the players upon the win, awarding them with $4600 (Ugx 16,766,310); each player walked away with $200.
Nabweteme concurs that Rwanda’s resilience shocked them and now warns for better preparations to face a more fancied Cameroon team.
“Rwanda’s performance shocked us in a way because we didn’t expect them to push us that far,” Nabweteme acknowledged during an interview with NBS Sport.
“We have to prepare very well to be able to match Cameroon because they have good professional players who play in very good leagues out there,” she warned.
The two sides are scheduled to face in a two-legged encounter between October 23rd and 31st.
The winner of the contest will date their equivalent in the tie between Ethiopia and Nigeria.
