The president of the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) Eng. Moses Magogo has advised Ugandans not to be too excited about the current Ugandan team.
He said that whereas the past two results have been positive there is still a lot of work to be done.
It should be noted that Uganda ended the past international break unbeaten in two games of the 2025 Morocco AFCON qualifying games.
This is after a 2-2 draw with South Africa that could have easily been a win and a 2-0 win over Congo Brazzaville at Namboole Stadium.
These results left the Cranes at the top of Group K. Ugandans who had shunned the National Team in the past are apparently picking up interest once again. However, the FUFA president has advised them to trust the process which is full of ups and lows.
He went ahead to say that the current players have a long way to go. This is because only a few players in the current Cranes squad have amassed more than 10 caps.
Therefore, the rest will need to first blend in and gain a lot of experience to be able to compete on the Continental and global stage.
Read his statement below;
“Let us not get excited, this team is not ready. This is because apart from Joseph Ochaya, Isaac Muleme, Khalid Lwaliwa, Halid Lwaliwa and Bevis Mugabi who have more than 10 caps, the rest of the players on the team have less than 10 caps. They need to amass the experience of playing against strong teams.”
The Cranes under Belgian coach Joseph Paul Put will be back in action next month. They play neighbors, South Sudan home and away.
