Rwanda head coach, Cheikh Sarr, told Times Sport that he believes in his boys.

"We have a young team. I think 75 percent are under 23 years old. They are strong and hungry," he said.

Speaking about the opponents, Sarr admitted that he does know much about them but he insisted that his team is ready to go and fight for a qualification for the finals no matter who they face.

"We don&039;t know them, but I think we have everything to be able to go there and reach the goal. We are going there to qualify," he said.

The qualifiers will determine the teams that will participate in the Afro-CAN finals, a 12-nation tournament that will take place in Luanda, Angola, from July 7-16.
