DAR ES SALAAM, Aug. 26 -- UGANDAN international and former Simba SC winger Emmanuel Okwi has praised Azam FCs progress, describing them as a team showing clear signs of growth and competitiveness.

Currently playing for Rwandan side Police FC, Okwi shared his remarks after watching Azam secure a convincing 2-0 win over Rwandas APR in a recent pre-season friendly. The match saw Azam dominate key moments, with goals from Zidane Sereri and Yahya Zayd.

“Ive seen how Azam have improved,” said Okwi. “We played them in a friendly recently and it was a tough match even though we won 1-0, it wasnt easy. They look like a team that can compete strongly in the league and in CAF competitions.”
