CRUCIAL SHOWDOWN — BRIAN SSENYONDO NEEDS BIG WIN OVER FRANCE TO ADVANCE
Uganda's U-17 Cubs must beat France in their final group match to keep their FIFA World Cup knockout hopes alive. After a draw with Chile, their fate hinges on a crucial win and other Group K results to advance.

The Cubs need to defeat France this afternoon in order to have any chance of making progress, according to a variety of scenarios.
In tournament football, a team's hopes of moving forward are sometimes eliminated when they return one point out of a potential six.
However, advancing to the round of 32 is still attainable for the national Under-17 squad, Cubs, as they play France in their final group match at the ongoing Fifa U-17 World Cup on Tuesday.
The Cubs actually dominated and took the lead over Canada in the first two games played, but a lack of focus enabled two late goals to turn the score into a 2-1 loss.
In addition, they mainly contained Chile, preventing the South Americans from scoring in open play before Derrick Ssozi's goal in stoppage time forced a one-all draw.
"In terms of pedigree, France is a formidable opponent for us. After watching his team force a one-all draw against Chile with a goal by Ssozi in extra time, Cubs head coach Brian Ssenyondo stated, "But from what I have seen today (against Chile), unlike the first game, we are really good in every element of the game."
"The performance demonstrates resilience. It demonstrates a team with grit that can bounce back from a goal deficit and the heartbreaking defeat we suffered against Canada,"
The Cubs need to defeat France this afternoon in order to have any chance of making progress, according to a variety of scenarios.
The outcome would place them on four four-point levels with their rivals, who enter the final round of play tied for first place with Canada.
A victory for Uganda would put them ahead of France when head-to-head is taken into account before goal differential. They would then aim to improve Chile's record, who begin the day with one point and is at the bottom of Group K, before they play Canada.
The Cubs can wait to see if their record is among the top eight third-place teams from all 12 groups in order to move on to the round of 32 if they do not place in the top two in the group.
Although it is excellent that we both scored and conceded from a set play, it was sad that we were unable to score from open play.
"I think we shall put up a spirited effort and we will reach our aim hopefully," Ssenyondo said, adding that there are positives to be gained from the one-all draw against Chile.
The Cubs had to defeat Gambia 2-1 in a playoff to secure their spot on the international scene after a fairly similar elimination game from the Afcon Under-17 tournament in order to advance to their first World Cup.
James Bogere, a striker, scored both goals in that victory and will be the primary scorer once more. He has been a consistent threat for the Cubs in the two games they have played so far, scoring the first goal in the 2-1 loss to Canada and having two goals disallowed for slight offside calls in each of the two games.
UGANDA'S U-17 CUBS IGNITE HOPE — BATTLE ON FOR CHAMPIONSHIP DREAMS
Uganda's U-17 Cubs earn their first-ever World Cup point with a dramatic 1-1 draw vs Chile. A late Derrick Ssozi goal keeps their knockout stage hopes alive heading into the final group match against France.

In Group K, they are in third place, slightly ahead of Chile, who are still at the bottom after losing to France 2-0 in their first game.
After Uganda's second match at the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup 2025 in Doha, Qatar, there was a sense of relief and hope.
After substitute Derrick Ssozi scored late in extra time to force a one-all draw against Chile at the Aspire Zone Complex on Saturday, the Cubs still have a chance to advance from the group stage heading into their last group match against France on Tuesday.
After losing to Canada 1-0 in the first round, the outcome helped the Cubs gain their first-ever point at point.
They are in third place in Group K, slightly ahead of Chile, who lost to France 2-0 in their opening match and are still at the bottom.
They are now four points behind group leaders France and Canada, who played to a goalless draw to advance to tomorrow's final round of matches.
Along with the eight best third-place teams, the top two teams from each of the 12 groups advance straight to the round of 32 stage.
"The performance demonstrates resilience. It demonstrates a team with resilience and the ability to bounce back from a goal down and the heartbreaking defeat to Canada."
"We wanted three points, so this is not the outcome we were hoping for. It is a well-earned point. We have so far had two teams that have been here for around 12 years and have not scored any goals. "There are several things we can take away from the outcome," said Cubs coach Brian Ssenyondo.
Defensive set pieces continue to be the team's biggest weakness, as demonstrated by the way they lost to Canada in the last moments and during their team's warm-up games. In the first half of extra time, Bruno Torres headed past the Cubs' onrushing goalkeeper Edrisah Waibi on a free kick.
"We were, in my opinion, the superior team for the entire ninety minutes. We have to recognise that the set pieces are our undeserving. We have worked on it, and we are aware that it is an issue. There are two possibilities: either the opponent's setpiece execution is superior, or we are unable to handle it." Ssenyondo noted.
An otherwise mainly strong defensive performance and the will to achieve a favourable outcome, which ended in Ssozi's equaliser, gave Ssenyondo additional confidence.
After Chile failed to deal with a corner, the forward, who had only been on the field for a minute, jumped to hook the ball over the line, replacing captain Richard Okello, who was relieved of captaincy duties for the match.
To keep the Cubs' hopes of winning the World Cup alive for the time being, the goal would then be put through an unnecessary VAR check before being certified.
BUL FC FIGHT HARD, EXTEND UNBEATEN LEAGUE STREAK TO 25 GAMES
Bul FC drew 1-1 with NEC in the Uganda Premier League. Jerome Kirya's equaliser cancelled out Joseph Dhata's opener, moving Bul to 4th while NEC remains in the bottom half of the table.

Before Jerome Kirya responded for Bul in the first half added time, Joseph Dhata gave Nec a well-earned lead in the 27th minute.
With ten points from six games, the outcome moved Bul to fourth place in the standings, one of three clubs that have not lost this season, together with Vipers and URA.
However, after drawing for the third time in five games this season, Nec is still in the bottom part of the standings with six points.
Additionally, it was coach Badru Kaddu's debut game as Nec's head coach after he left Express to take Hussein Mbalangu's place on Thursday.
His team had a better start, which paid off in the 27th minute when Dhara scored the goal after Marvin Kavuma's header struck the post following a Mustafa Kizza free kick. Dhara was the first to react to a ball in his path.
Then, when Bul goalkeeper Tom Okara parried another attempt into his path from a similar distance, Dhata squandered a fantastic chance to double Nec's advantage. His initial goal only sent his rebound weakly at the goalkeeper.
Before the two teams went into halftime, Bul were given a lifeline when Nec goalkeeper Samson Kirya let a weak header from Kirya slip past him and tie the score.
With Kaddu making ineffectual substitutions, such as benching Dhata, and Geriga Atendere being substituted at right back after getting a knock in a physical altercation that referee Lucky Kasalirwe encouraged, the goal energised Bul, who went on the offensive and seemed the more likely team to score.
