KAMPALA, Uganda: Now that they have to wait for another year before representing Uganda in the Continental Tournament, Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), who were eliminated out of the 2019 CAF Championship by Congo Brazzaville’s Oto are now concentrating on winning the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
This hope was however thwarted after their loss (3-1) in an away match against Fort Portal based ‘Underdogs’ Tooro United. KCCA played Tooro United, in Fort-portal, some 220 KM Southeast of Uganda’s capital Kampala against ‘underdogs’ Tooro United. The odds for winning according to many SA betting sites was pitted against KCCA. KCCA are the country’s reigning Cup holders and a win against Tooro United would only cement their chances as they seek to proceed to the round of 8 soon.

KCCA manager Mike Mutebi has maintained nearly the same squad as one against AS Otoho D’Oyo on Sunday with only two changes. Filbert Obenchan and Mustafa Kizza are out of the game with Bernard Muwanga and Lawrence Bukenya taking their slots.
KCCA was drew 1-1 with Tooro United before they were beaten in spot kicks.
