The Uganda National Basketball Team Coach George Galanopolous has made emphasis about his opponents in Group E.
The Silverbacks are in training camp in Egypt as they prepare for contention against opponents Egypt, Morocco, and Cape Verde in the AfroBasket 2021 Qualifiers.
Coach George Galanopolous has expressed confidence in his team saying, “Camp is going well. We almost have our full team, we are almost at full strength. The guys have been playing hard that have been here over the last five days and we are looking forward to it.”
“The squad is a little bit deeper, we have a couple of returning players both locally and foreign-based. A couple of new faces that are foreign-based as well. So, this is the first we have had this specific group. We feel that the bench is a little bit deeper,” he added.
He also mentioned, “I think every single game is going to be tough, starting with Egypt that is not an easy game especially with the roster that they brought in, one of the better teams in Africa on paper. Morocco has always been rock solid and Cape Verde very obviously is on the rise as well. So, no opponent, and every game is important. So we are going to approach each game as such and hopefully, we can come up on the right side.”
The tournament begins next week with Uganda playing Egypt, Morocco and Cape Verde on November 27th, 28th and 29th respectively.
