Uganda head coach Paul Put has named his provisional squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June.

Bevis Mugabi, who plays for Motherwell in the Scottish Premiership, has been called up. The defender, who captained the Cranes on his last appearances, will be in action at the Mandela National Stadium against Botswana and table-topping Algeria, who come off the back of a disappointing AFCON 2024 campaign.

Paul Put’s side currently sit joint second in the group, having lost to Guinea and claiming all three points against Somalia.
