FOOTBALL AFCONQ 2023: Owen Baba Kasule raring to go after 2022 CHAN mishap
Kasule missed out on playing at the 2022 CHAN tourney due to unclear reasons after he had racked up six goals and five assists with Wakiso Giants in the first round of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League.
The 19-year-old says several factors are behind his form, but mainly the trust of compatriot and head coach Ibrahim Ssekagya.
“I have to appreciate the head coach Ibrahim Sekagya, his trust in me has spurred me on to give everything, and I needed it,” Kasule told Pulse Sports from his base in New York.

“The good performance is down to hard work, the urge to learn more and compete every day, but also the support from my teammates and the coaches have also pushed me more.”
Kasule and Sekagya are not the only Ugandans on the team; forward Frank Ssebuufu, also signed from Wakiso Giants, is also leading the line upfront and has been scoring more often.
