Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA FC) are raring to go against Namibia side African Stars in the Preliminary Round, first leg match of the CAF Champions League.
After a flight delay the team arrived in Windhoek on Thursday afternoon to do battle in what promises to be a good encounter.
The team had its flight SW 708 from Cape town to Windhoek cancelled on Wednesday evening at 18hrs CAT due to technical reasons.
But the flight delay will not affect the teams performance it seems as the players are raring to go.

“We are focused and we will not let the hiccups encountered get us distracted. We have our eyes set on the prize.”
KCCA FC have named a strong team for the CAF assignment with three players making their CAF debut. These are, Kasozi Nicholas and newly promoted players from the club’s soccer academy Kato Samuel and Sadat Anaku.
