Ahead of their first leg second round preliminary clash with Libya’s Abu Salam, KCCA coach Sergio Traguil and skipper Julius Poloto are optimistic of reaching the group stages.
The Kasasiro will be in action on Sunday at Rades stadium, Tunisia and need to get a positive result ahead of the second leg a week later at Kitende.
Speaking to the media, Traguil said the boys are motivated and have a task to represent Uganda well.
KCCA coach Sergio Traguil has said the club will do all it takes to reach the Caf Confederation Cup group stages.
“We are the only hope of continental football for Uganda at the moment,” said Traguil who will officially begin his work at KCCA.
“We have prepared well; the lads are very motivated and we shall do whatever it takes to reach the group stages.”
KCCA played in the group stages of this competition in 2017 and also reached the group stages of the Caf Champions League the following year.
However, they were eliminated by AS Otoho in 2019 and AS Kigali of Rwanda in 2020 and are without a trophy in four years.
