The Uganda National Beach Soccer Team (The Sand Cranes) has on Monday entered residential camp at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru to start preparations for the forthcoming 2021 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations qualifiers due this month.

Uganda will face Ghana in a double legged affair, with the first leg taking place at the FUFA Technical Centre, Njeru on 27th March and a return leg away in two weeks’ time.

The team began preparations with a double session at the newly constructed Beach Soccer Facility at the Technical Centre.

11 of the 20 players summoned attended Monday’s training with the rest who still have engagements with teams in the Uganda Premier League expected to join camp by Thursday morning.

These include Captain Meddie Kibirige, Douglas Muganga, Samson Kirya, Brian Nkuubi, Jamilu Maliyamungu, Paul Kato, Alex Emmanuel Wasswa, Rica Byaruhanga and Godfrey Lwesibawa.

Caoch Salim Jamal Muwonge was impressed with the first day and believes the players will be in good shape before the matches.

‘Many of the players have not been active and therefore, the first task is to work on their fitness levels and make sure they are in good shape before the games. We believe entering in camp will have us to access every player.’ Said the coach

Goalkeeper Nasser Lwamunda is optimistic that with better preparations, the team will achieve the target of qualifying to the final tournament.
