He also warned teams that have qualified for next year’s Ateker Cup of Nations, hosted in Teso Uganda, that they’re dreaming if they think they can win the title on home soil .

Ngora’s journey was tough, but they beat Amuria 1-0, humbled Kumi 2-0, cruised past Kaberemaido 2-1, and edged out Pallisa 5-4 on penalties in the semis.
