“I hope the team maintains their top spot and qualifies for the 2019 championship in Cameroon. Each player will also receive a token of appreciation,” he added.

Museveni noted the need for the Uganda Cranes Management to improve the players’ diet and intensify their training as parr of their recent performance demonstrated lack of energy.
