The annual Road to Anfield Standard Chartered tournament is starting this weekend on Saturday at the Namboole Stadium. Lucky fans will get a chance to play on Liverpool’s stadium Anfield. 40 teams have confirmed their participation in the one-day event that will kick off at 8am on Saturday.
The participating teams are pooled in eight groups with each with five teams. The best two teams in each group will qualify for the round of 16, a knock out stage. The overall winner after the finals will automatically represent Uganda at regional level which is due on Match 4th in Tanzania.
