Bebe Cool’s son Thierry Alpha named in U20 Afcon provisional squad

In the provisional squad released today, former Uganda Cranes legend Jackson Mayanja named Ssali in the provisional squad. Mayanja summoned a total of 50 players for the residential camp and will face the daunting task of trimming his squad by half.

The Uganda Kobs, the Under 20, coached by former Uganda Cranes legend Jackson Mayanja will participate in the Africa Cup of Nations tournament for the youth level.

He says the players must prove themselves as selection will be based on merit.

"We are going to use this time to fully assess and examine the players and all decisions we shall make will be based on merit, meaning players must work hard to prove the technical team", he noted.

The U20 Africa Cup of Nations Egypt 2023 will be played between 19 February and 11 March 2023.

Uganda goes into the continental youth competition as the champions of the Zone 5 CECAFA region. Neighbours South Sudan whom Uganda beat in the qualifiers find themselves in the same group.

The Hippos will be participating in the AFCON U20 for the second consecutive time having ended as finalists in the previous edition in Mauritania.
