YMCA will be hoping they can finally win their first game of the 2023/24 Pepsi University Football League season when they host Islamic University In Uganda (IUIU) for the return leg of their Group B match, slated for Thursday at Buwambo.
After three games, YMCA are yet to master victory, having drawn once and lost twice.
However, head coach Michael Kalyesubula, who has stressed they need to get back to the basics, is optimistic they can finally get a win.
“It’s a matter of what can we do to fix things, what corrections do we need to make, and the boys have been good about working to make those corrections and keeping the team together,” Kalyesubula said.
