High Temperatures Welcome Uganda’s Team In Saudi Arabia

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Ugandan Football July 2, 2021

The welcome got from Saudi Arabia by Uganda’s U-23 players became a rude one due to the high temperatures. The country experiences temperatures as high as 50 degrees as compared to Uganda’s 20-27 degrees range Ugandans are used to.

The team is in Saudi Arabia for the training camp as they prepare for the 2021 CECAFA senior challenge cup in Ethiopia.

Head coach Morley Byekwaso attested that all is well so far and the players are quickly adjusting to the hot weather conditions.

‘’Since we arrived here, all has been well apart from the hot weather conditions. The players held a session and you could depict from their bodies that all is not well. However, they are quickly adjusting,’’ Byekwaso said.

The team held its maiden training session at the Prince Fais al Bin Abdulaziz Stadium.

They take on the Saudi Arabia National team (Falcons) on Friday, July 2, 2021, in the first of the two planned international build-up matches.

Hopefully, they will perform to their best given the situation that is not in their favor. Getting used to the high temperatures is of at most importance.

This is because the Ethiopian weather is not so different from that in Saudi.
