Build-up matchMarch 21Uganda vs RwandaApril 20-22Namibia vs RwandaTHE Junior Wasps head coach Richard Tardy has named a 20-man squad to face Uganda Hippos in an international friendly due to be played on March 21 in Kampala.The Frenchman, who guided Rwanda to the FIFA U-17 World Cup finals last year, has started preparations for the U-20 continental qualifiers.With Rwanda set to face Namibia in the preliminary round of the CAF youth championship qualifiers, the junior wasps play away to Hippos in a return leg following a 1-all draw in the home leg in Kigali.In the team which is travelling to Kampala on Tuesday, 11 of the players are from Isonga Fc and the team will be boasted by Ugandan-based pair of Bonny Bayingana of Express and Charles Mwesigye Tibingana of Proline.Other new faces in the team include Mukura’s striker Emmanuel Sebanani and Yussuf Habimana from La Jeunesse.Rwanda faces Namibia in the two-legged clash and should they manoeuvre their way past Namibia, the task ahead looks even tougher as they face a potential second round clash with West African soccer giants, Mali in July.
