NAIROBI, Kenya- The national Under 17 football team played out a 0-0 draw with Uganda counterparts in a friendly played on Tuesday afternoon at the Utalii Grounds in Nairobi.

“This was one of the toughest matches we have played, which is we good, as we are in for a tougher challenge in Egypt.

"I now have a clear picture of my final squad and I'm confident that those who will make it to the team will give a good account of themselves,” head coach Michael Amenga remarked after the barren stalemate.
