Uganda Cranes Head Coach Joseph Paul Put believes that the team's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying group is fair but warns against underestimating their opponents.
The draws, conducted on Thursday in Johannesburg, South Africa, placed Uganda in Group K alongside South Africa, Congo Brazzaville, and neighbors South Sudan.
Put, whose team is currently second last in the FIFA World Cup qualifying standings, sees the draw as favorable on paper for the Cranes, who are eager to return to continental football after missing out on two consecutive tournaments.
But, the Belgian, who was landed the Cranes job last year replacing Micho adds that while the group looks fair, he has come to understand that there are no small teams in Africa. The Cranes last participated in the AFCON in 2019 under French coach Sébastien Desabre.
