Team manager Mike Hillary Mutebi is confident that Kampala Capital City Authority Football Club (KCCA FC) can advance from the group of the CAF Confederation Cup.
KCCA were pitted in Group A of the 2017 Total CAF Confederation Cup along FUS Rabat (Morocco), Club Africain (Tunisia) and Rivers United in the group stage draws that were held in Cairo, Egypt on Wednesday. And Mutebi is confident he has enough in his arsenal to compete.
I believe we are capable of progressing to the next level because we have a good and talented squad that has the ability to take on any team
The manager told www.kccafc.co.ug, he also believes the experience garnered in the continental games against CD Primeiro de Agosto, Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Masry will help KCCA to ably compete in the group.
We have played against champions of Africa, Al Masry from the Maghreb and a team from Angola that has a Brazilian culture. So the games have helped to shape our players for challenges and I think that will help us ahead of the upcoming fixtures
In the quest to build KCCA FC into a strong team that will regularly compete on the continent, Mutebi indicates this is a good chance to gauge against the very best.
It is a wonderful opportunity for our players to play against such traditional and powerful clubs on the continent because we test ourselves against the biggest teams on the Continent. It helps us to continue growing into a team that we want KCCA FC to be that can appear and compete on the continent regularly
KCCA FC became the first Ugandan team to reach the group stages of any continental tournament since change in format jn 1997.
The Ugandan champions eliminated Al Masry 4-3 on penalties at the playoff phase after a 1-1 aggregate score over the two legs.
