Uganda Cranes Captain Emmanuel Arnold Okwi claims that the team is ready for the game against Mali.

Okwi says that they need to collect maximum Points in their 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers on Monday.

The Cranes are set to host Mali on Monday, at the St. Mary Stadium, Kitende in their second game of group E.

While speaking to the press men, Okwi started by expressing the team’s readiness ahead for Monday’s tie

“We are ready and everyone in the camp is good to go and ready to give in their best in tomorrow’s game,” Okwi said.

“We already have something in the bag, so we shall be looking forward to building on that.”

“All we want is to add on the three points against Mali so as to get a direction in these Qualifiers.”

The Cranes started their world Cup Qualifying campaign with a goalless draw against Neighbors Kenya on Thursday last week.
