AFCON U20: Uganda Hippos Storm Quarter-Finals for Second Successive Time

The Uganda U-20 (Hippos) are in the quarter-finals for the second successive time.

Uganda made it to the knockout stage for the second successive time at the ongoing U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt after an all-nil draw with South Sudan.

AFCON U20 final Group B match was held Sunday evening at Suez Canal Authority Stadium in the East African Derby.

Hippos player Travis Mutyaba was named TotalEnergies Man of the match.

The Hippos managed to keep their unbeaten run following their two-all draw in the previous match against Congo Brazzaville.

Head Coach Jackson Mayanja vowed he would not underestimate his opponents in a pre-match press conference.

And he delivered on his promise.

The teams that reach the semi-finals qualify for the U-20 FIFA World Cup that will take place in Indonesia this year between May and June.
