Following the first leg of the Fufa Tv Cup Round of 32 which was eded 0-0 at Namilyango College, Mengo SS is in the mood as they host the return leg in Bukesa on Friday August 1 at 4:00 pm.
Team Captain John Ssekabira has remained optimistic after the last rehearsal on the school campus, and he said; “In our first leg, we had a fair game, though there are some things we failed to implement that we have been working on this week. We have trained well, the coaches have told us everything we need in the game, and I know we are going to make it.”
Mengo Senior School Coach Shaban Kintu has called on fans to cheer up the team. “We are home, our fans will rally behind us. I know the first leg ended 0-0, we had some things we got positively and others which we didn’t achieve, but we have reflected upon them, and I believe we are going to put on a good performance to win the game for our fans.”
FUFA TV Cup Organizing Committee Vice Chairman, who also doubles as a teacher and sports decision maker at Mengo SS, also predicted his school to overcome Namilyango. “Football is won on the pitch. We played 0-0, but we were challenged with the uniqueness of the pitch at Namilyango. Now, this is our commanding center, and our fans are always very fantastic. I believe we can win the game comfortably.”
Emmanuel Namannya, a fan of Mengo, also showed his high hope in his team. “By God’s grace, I am a Mengonian. I think back at their home we were not so fantastic, but everything has a negative side. But the team has collected its mistakes and maintained those which were good. Tomorrow we are going to win the game and we will be there to support.”
Last season, Mengo was among the teams that reached the last eight stage, and they are looking forward to go for the competition this campaign.
Besides Mengo SS and Namilyango College other reverse fixtures shall come on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd August 2025.
