Ugandan national under 17 coach Samuel Paa Kwesi Fabin maintains his clash with host nation Tanzania on Wednesday in the youth AFCON is very critical.

The Junior Cranes lost by a goal to nil in their first game against Angola whilst Tanzania were also defeated 5-4 by Nigeria.

Both countries need a win in the encounter to brighten their chances of making it to the next round and the Ghanaian tactician says it will not be easy.

“It is a crucial game for both teams, if any team loses that means they will be out of the tournament. We know what Tanzania is capable of and we are going to give our best to win. We have our strategies of holding them back.” Fabin told cafonline.

Fabin who guided Ghana to the second round of the 2017 Fifa Under 17 World Cup in India was appointed as head coach of the Ugandan national under 17 team just a month ago.
