Acholi province will host Bukedi on Saturday 7th July at the Pece stadium in Gulu as the inaugural FUFA Drum tournament returns with the second leg of the quarter finals.
Coming into the crucial return leg, Acholi is in the trailing seat after losing the previous encounter 1-0 in Bukedi courtesy of a Julius Poloto goal.
Peter Onen the man at the helms of Acholi Province is focusing on correcting the slight mistakes which cost them a first leg advantage.
” Football is a game of mistakes, the Bukedi team was not better than us but a slight mistake by our defenders led us to concede.”
Onen said while speaking to swiftsportsug.com
” We are strongly working hard on rectifying those mistakes and come the second leg, we are going to give the very best expected from us.” he added.
Onen calls upon the Acholi fans to turn up in big numbers as they aim at progressing to the semi finals.
” I call upon our fans to come in big numbers as we play the return leg at home as they have always supported us.”
Besides the Acholi vs Bukedi game, Kampala will be hosting their close rivals Buganda at Wankulukuku, West Nile hosts Bugisu at Greenlight stadium in Arua while Busoga welcomes Ankole at Bugembe.
