Niger’s National Coach, Jean-Michel Cavalli, unveiled his list of selected players for the match against Uganda on September 7th, in the context of the 6th round of the CAN 2023 qualifiers.
Niger will also compete in the sixth round of the CAN 2023 qualifiers, with the final phase scheduled from January 13 to February 11, 2024 in Côte d’Ivoire. The Mena will face Uganda on September 7th at the Marrakech Stadium in Morocco. It’s a match without stakes for the Nigeriens, who are already eliminated from the competition.
On the contrary, the Cranes could secure their ticket to the tournament with a victory. The Ugandan team has a total of 4 points in Group F, three points behind Tanzania (2nd place) and 11 points behind the already qualified Algerian team. A defeat for Taifa Stars against the Fennecs, followed by a victory for the Ugandans on Nigerien soil, would ensure qualification for the team coached by Milutin Sredojević.
While awaiting this decisive clash between Niger and Uganda, the Mena’s coach, Jean-Michel Cavalli, has unveiled his list of selected players. The French technician has called upon 25 of his best men, most of whom play on the continent.
