KCCA FC head coach Morley Byekwaso claims that one of their main targets this season is to win the Stanbic Uganda Cup title ahead of their round of 32 game.
The record holders will host Soltilo Bright Stars FC at the MTN Omondi Stadium in Lugogo on Friday February 25th.
According to Byekwaso, winning the Stanbic Uganda Cup title is one of their targets this season making Friday’s game a must-win for them.
“Our targets have never changed. We want to win the League and Uganda Cup. The players, technical and management are all focused on this and that is the goal,” Byekwaso said.
“It is a bit worrying that our forwards are not scoring but we have handed the responsibility to each and every player to score.”
“We have taken them through drills that enable each and everyone to score goals when handed a goal scoring opportunity,” he added.
