Uganda Cranes captain Dennis Onyango has praised the spirit of diligence and commitment exhibited by the technical team and the players for the two weeks that they had camped at Kabira Country club, Bukoto.
This was before a Cranes contingent, comprising 13 players, flew out of the country, to Abu Dhabi on Monday morning for a three week residential camp ahead of the Afcon Finals due in Egypt.
The team, led by Fufa Executive committee member Issa Magoola, made a brief stopover in Cairo city, Egypt, according to Fufa media.
“I am very impressed that the players showed a high spirit of character and dedication through the two weeks in camp at Kabira,” Onyango stated. “I also thank the technical team and the federation for preparing the team. I am indebted to the Government for the financial support and logistical support offered to the team over the years. The morale is high.”
