The Uganda Cranes squad is set to be boosted by the arrival of another heritage player Danel Jordan Dongmo ahead of the upcoming AFCON Qualifiers against Botswana.
Dongmo, a midfielder who plays Portuguese Primera Liga side Nacional, is a former Cameroon national U23 team player.
The 25 year old central midfielder was born in Douala, Cameroon, to a Cameroonian father Fidele Dongmo and Ugandan mother Yuliana Kafuko.
He started his football journey at Brasseries du Cameroun Academy and went on to feature for Troyes in France, FK Vardar in North Macedonia and Romanian side Petrolul Ploiești before joining Nacional in July this year.
Dongmo, who has played five games for Nacional this season, is expected to bolster the Uganda Cranes midfield that has already had the introduction of Abdoulaye Sissako, Noble Okello and Alhassan Baba.
With the exception of Rogers Mato who is ruled out by injury, all the initial summoned players have arrived in the Uganda Cranes camp.
Allan Okello, Herbert Bockhorn, Rogers Torach, James Bogere and Sadam Masereka are the latest players to join the Uganda Cranes camp.
Uganda will face Botswana in Hoima this Saturday (14th November) before meeting again in Gaborone on Tuesday 17th November.
