The Uganda Cranes intensified preparations for the do or die 2018 FIFA World Russia qualifier match against Egypt with a practice match against Azam Uganda Premier League club, SC Villa.
The match ended in a goalless draw at Mandela National stadium, Namboole.
This practice match was the first session for Zambian based left back Joseph Ochaya, who turns out for Lusaka Dynamos.
In his interview with www.fufa.co.ug, Ochaya said that he is sent to face the Pharaohs on Thursday 31st August 2017 at Namboole.
“When I recall my goal which was canceled at AFCON 2017 in Gabon, I get more motivated to face the Egyptians. Their late winner hurt us like injured lions and therefore it’s our time to roar” vowed Ochaya
Ochaya calls upon Ugandans to come in big numbers to cheer the Cranes on match day against Egypt.
Meanwhile, the team travels on Friday morning to the North Eastern Region at Bukedea for the Uganda Cranes Regional tour.
The regional tours are jointly funded by national team main sponsor Airtel Uganda Limited and partners Nile Breweries Limited.
