Uganda Cranes set to miss the CHAN final tournament due to lack of financial hardship.
The development was confirmed by the FUFA President Eng.Moses Magogo on his Twitter handle on Monday morning
“It is sad, like for the U23, we are left with no further option but to withdraw the UgandaCranes from CHAN finals because Ministry of Finance has not provided the funds as appropriated by Parliament.”
“The sanctions to Uganda will affect the future if we dont take the hard decision now. Sorry for the players and coaches who qualified the team but it is the moment to face the reality.” Tweeted Magogo
