The 23-year-old Ugandan attacker led REG as it won the trophy in the men’s category, in a competition that attracted clubs from Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, and Tanzania, as well as Rwanda from August 2 to 4 in Kampala, Uganda.

"I have been working hard to improve my level. I will keep on working hard. I don’t want to just play in the region,” Angiro told Times Sport.

"I am happy with the way I played this tournament and I thank God for this level. I want to keep moving forward because I haven’t reached where I want to be,” he added.
