West Nile Province v Lango – White Rhinos aiming to create history

Dudu Bosco’s West Nile Province are seeking to cap a remarkable tournament by avenging their 2018 defeat against Buganda when the White Rhinos meet Lango Province in the firs-leg final in Arua on Saturday before travelling to Lira for the return leg, but Muhammad Shaban and compatriots have their sights on a first FUFA Drum triumph.

It is West Nile Province’s second FUFA Drum final in three editions, after their 2-1 aggregate loss to Buganda in 2018, the White Rhinos crashed out in the quarter-finals in the second edition despite a comprehensive 3-1 win against hosts Lango at the new Akii Bua Stadium in Lira on Wednesday.
