I am very happy. I don t even know what to say. I m speechless and shocked. Could this be happening? It is so unexpected, and I thank God and the entire Asante Kotoko club for it, Danlad said on his club s official website. It is never easy to earn a senior national team call-up at this stage of my life and career and so you do not take this lightly at all. All I can say is Alhamdulillah. My family and my fans are all happy about this news. I always say that being in this great club is a great pleasure. The challenge here is the biggest anyone can get in the country.
[A] huge congratulations to coach Morley [Byekwaso] and all of the Uganda Hippos. Top class performance and a great night for Ugandan football. Onwards to the final.
It is hard to find words exultant enough to praise these young men and all of the support staff.
Huge congratulations to Coach Morley and all of the #UgandaHippos.

Recently, coach Morley Byekwaso challenged world football governing body Fifa to come up with ways to ensure the U20 World Cup is played.
As it has been the norm, the last four teams in the U20 Afcon were to qualify for the global competition that was initially scheduled to be played in Indonesia but was cancelled owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.
