The Uganda Cranes conducted the last training session on Wednesday evening ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier encounter against the Egypt Pharaohs at Mandela National Stadium.
The morale in camp is far above the ground as the boys have vowed to conquer the Pharaohs to clear their chances of qualifying for the world’s most precious football tournament for the first time.
Team captain Denis Masinde Onyango said that team needs maximum results from the game in a bid to broaden the chances of a place in Russia.
“We have to give in our best against Egypt because this game determines so match on our chance of qualifying for the World Cup. We need to utilize the home advantage to acquire maximum results before the return leg” observed Onyango.
