Malawi Flames Head Coach Meke Mwase believes that their AFCON 2021 Group B qualifier away to Uganda Cranes at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole will be a great well-balanced duel.
Mwase was addressing the media during a joint press conference also attended by the Uganda Cranes head coach Johnathan McKinstry and captain Denis Onyango as well as the Malawi captain John Banda at Protea Marriott Skyz Hotel in Naguru, Kampala.
The former Malawi Flames player is delighted having won 1-0 against South Sudan in the opening game on Wednesday, an impetus ahead of the Uganda encounter.
We have a talented squad and ready to face the Uganda Cranes. We are ready for the game tomorow and waiting for the 90 minutes against uganda cranes.
Meke Mwase, Malawi Head Coach
Mwase was part of the Malawi team that lost 3-1 to Uganda when the Flames visited Uganda during the AFCON qualifiers, 19 years ago.
He comes to Kampala as head coach of a spirited side that won 1-0 in their opener against South Sudan.
It is a blessing in disguise to be here once again. The last time I came here as a player, we lost the battle.
Meke Mwase, Malawi Head Coach
Malawi arrived in Uganda on Friday morning and held their first session at the Star Times Stadium, Lugogo later in the evening.
The game will be handled by Sudanese referees.
