CECAFA Senior Challenge 3rd-18th July in Ethiopia

Head coach Morley Byekwaso has named a 40 man squad for the 2021 CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup to be hosted by Ethiopia.

The tournament is for players below 23 years of age but tournament rules allow three players above that category to feature for any teams.

Uganda will take advantage of this rule and name three senior players for experience and guidance to the youngsters. The senior players named are; Goalkeepers Watenga Ismail (Chippa United FC) and Charles Lukwago (KCCA FC), Striker Yunus Ssentamu (Vipers SC), defender Murushid Juuko (Express FC) and midfielder Saidi Kyeyune (unattached).

It is from this list that three players will be named in the final squad of 23 players for the tournament.

The players will meet at FUFA House in Mengo on Friday 18th June 2021 at 8am and then head to Cranes Paradise Hotel in Kisaasi for residential camp.
