” The entire Contingent left Marrakech on Thursday. Only the National Teams’ Officer stayed behind as he was finalizing the usual travel and accommodation protocols of the team until the last player or official of the team leaves the official team Hotel.” Reads part of the statement for FUFA.
” Mukatabala is safe and doing well health-wise. He will fly out as per schedule. The Uganda Cranes contingent will touch base this afternoon at Entebbe International Airport while foreign based players connected to their respective clubs.”
Thanks for all the concern. Experiencing an earthquake was scary. Thankfully I’m safe and sound! Condolences to all those effected 🙏🏿❤️

FUFA joined the entire world to express sympathy towards the people of Morocco.
Uganda Cranes beat Niger 2-0 in their final last game of the AFCON Qualifiers in a game played in Marrakech on Thursday night.
The Cranes were unfortunate that the result from the other group game involving Tanzania and Algeria didn’t go in their favour and consequently got eliminated.
