Uganda Cranes head coach Milutin Sredojevic has confirmed the final squad that will travel to Morocco for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier match against Niger.
A squad comprised of 23 players has been confirmed by the coach and will travel to Morocco on Saturday at 4 pm (local time) aboard Emirates Airlines. The coach believes the team selected will be able to execute the task at hand. On Wednesday, the team played the first of its practice matches against SC Villa, which ended in a one-all draw at the Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.
“After days of preparations in Kampala, I believe we are at the best level to go and compete against Niger. We already have two foreign players Taddeo Lwanga and Abdu Aziizi Kayondo that have been training with us while the rest will join us in Marrakech,” said the Serbian coach.
