Uganda Cranes’ head coach, Paul Put, has carefully selected a squad of 26 players in preparation for the upcoming African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2024 Qualifier matches against Burundi.

The team is gearing up for a crucial two-legged encounter scheduled for 26th and 29th December 2024 at Nakivubo Stadium.

As Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania have already secured their spots at the tournament as hosts, these matches serve as crucial preparation for the final competition.
