The Uganda Cranes head coach Johnathan McKinstry has released the full delegation of players and officials that depart on Sunday evening for Dubai training camp aboard Emirates Air at 5 PM.
There are 26 players and 14 officials who depart via Entebbe International Airport for the 10 day’s training camp.
‘A number of players were unfortunately ruled out from consideration for the training camp due to Covid-19 travel restrictions applicable to them, or through injury. However the camp presents a great opportunity for a large quota of the foreign based players alongside the best players in the Uganda premier league to prepare for upcoming AFCON and CHAN engagements.’ McKinstry disclosed to www.fufa.co.ug.
COVID-19 results for the local legion of players and officials returned with negative results for all, making them available to travel with their health certificates.
The camp has been organized in line with preparations for the 2021 AFCON Qualifiers and the 2020 CHAN Finals to be held in Cameroon next year.
