"First of all, am satisfied with performance of the players. This shows the team is improving every time. If I am to judge the team's performance its now 80%,"Ssimbwa said.

"We create so many chances but at times we don't utilize. I am sure that will be sorted out before we leave for Tanzania,"Ssimbwa stated.

KCCA FC is drawn in Group C alongside Tanzania's Azam FC, Malakia (South Sudan) and Adama City (Ethiopia).  KCCA FC's opening fixture is against Azam FC on July 19 and three days later they will take on Adama City before winding up with Malakia FC on July 25

The Lugogo side that is already in camp at Mandela hotel in Bweyogerere will be expected to play the Kobs in the second friendly on Tuesday before they travel to Tanzania the following day.

The Lugogo based side was eliminated by Sudan giants Al-Merrikh  in the semis finals of CECAFA last year in Rwanda.
