Uganda committed to hosting AFCON beach soccer

Despite of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Uganda is still confident of hosting  the Africa Beach Soccer Nations Cup in December.

"We still have time so the games can't be postponed yet. And CAF who are the organisers of this competition have not yet come out to reveal that games we will be postponed. Unless this pandemic persists then a decision can be taken", revealed one of the officials at FUFA who didn't want to reveal his identity.

The decision to have Uganda named the hosts  was taken during the CAF Executive Committee meeting in Accra, Ghana in 2018 where the FUFA President Moses Magogo represented Uganda, but at the same time, he also heads the Futsal and Beach Soccer Committee.

This means the Sand Cranes (Uganda National beach Soccer team) will qualify automatically as hosts.

"It is a great opportunity for Uganda to be selected as the next hosts of the AFCON Beach Soccer Finals. We shall be looking forward to hosting a memorable tournament for all the teams that will come to our country," noted Uganda Beach Soccer Association Chairman Deo Mutabazi.

It will be the fourth edition of the AFCON Beach Soccer finals. This year's edition will be hosted by Egypt.
