The Uganda Cranes Squad has been reduced to 27 players as the team continues with its preparations for the TOTAL 2018 African Nations Championship.
The players have enjoyed four days of non-residential training at both Namboole stadium and Maroons Stadium where the new head coach Desabre took full charge since his appointment by FUFA on Thursday.

We need to focus on those going to camp so that we work on our targets before the first game against Zambia,” said Cranes coach Desbare.
