What Botes said after final training in Uganda:

“The camp is very positive, and we are looking forward to the match. We have a good squad, and we believe in them,” she noted.

“We know it’s going to be a tough match against Ghana, but we analysed their game against South Africa. We believe it will be a difficult match for both teams.”

“We need all the support from the people of Uganda. We are going to fight and make you proud. World Cup qualification is a high possibility; we are going to do this for the Ugandan people.”
