Hard work surely bares fruit as is the case with Express FC right back Richard Bbosa.

The 20 year old versatile young defender who joined the Red Eagles from academy side Super Cubs made the final 20-man Uganda Hippos squad that will play in the upcoming CECAFA U-20 Championship in Tanzania and has expressed his readiness to make it count.

“It’s always been my dream to represent my country at any level, I thank the coach for trusting me and my other teammates and the only way we can pay him back is by performing well, I promise I’ll do whatever it takes to win” He revealed.

The tournament will kick off on Monday 23rd November and will be played up to 6th December.

The winner of the tournament will represent the CECAFA region in the AFCON U-20 Championship which will be played in 2021.
