KAGERA Sugar Head Coach Juma Kaseja (pictured) has confirmed that his players have resumed training in preparation for their upcoming Round of 16 Federation Cup clash against Tabora United.
Kaseja has called his players back to camp early as the Mainland Premier League is on international break for World Cup qualifiers matches.
Kagera Sugar will meet Tabora United on March 28 at Ali Hassan Mwinyi Stadium.
Speaking during a training session, Kaseja noted the importance of early preparations, stating that the team needs to be wellprepared not only for the FA Cup fixture but also for the remaining league matches, which are crucial for their survival in the top division.

“The players returned to camp yesterday because we had a tough away match against Tabora United. Apart from the importance of this game, we must also stay ready for our upcoming league fixtures, which are even more vital for us to ensure we remain in the league next season,” Kaseja said.
“It is not ideal to leave players idle at home in the middle of a competition. Bringing them back to camp quickly will help maintain their competitive edge, especially since we are coming off a win and morale is high,” he added.
Kaseja further stressed that this is the moment for each player to step up and fight for the team, which has been in the top division for a long time.
He insisted that relegation is not an option and every effort must be made to secure a strong finish this season.
