Kitara FC forward Denis Wahab has expressed unwavering confidence in his team’s ability to overcome their recent 2-1 defeat against Al Ahly in the CAF Confederation Cup. The Ugandan side faced the Egyptian giants in Hoima, succumbing to a late goal that put them at a disadvantage heading into the second leg.

Despite the disappointment of the home loss, Wahab remains optimistic about Kitara’s chances in the return fixture in Cairo. He stated that the team’s dream of progressing in the continental competition is far from over and that they are determined to fight for a positive result on foreign soil. Wahab acknowledged the quality of Al Ahly but stressed that Kitara is also a capable team that can cause upsets.

The forward believes the experience gained from playing against a team of Al Ahly’s caliber is invaluable. He highlighted the need for the Royals, as Kitara is fondly known, to learn from their mistakes and make necessary adjustments to their tactics and execution. The team is reportedly focusing on improving their defensive organization and capitalizing on scoring opportunities in the upcoming match.

Wahab’s sentiments reflect a determined spirit within the Kitara squad. While the task in Cairo will undoubtedly be challenging, the team is rallying behind their collective belief and the encouragement of their supporters. They are looking to put up a strong performance and show their mettle on the continental stage.

The second leg encounter is scheduled to take place in Cairo, where Kitara will need to score at least two goals without conceding to stand a chance of advancing to the next round. The players are reportedly training rigorously, aiming to be fully prepared for the crucial battle ahead.
