Milutin Sredojevic alias Micho the Cranes head coach believes the two games will help his team ahead of the Tanzania tie

“From 25th of July when we started preparations, I believe we have done a good job considering players were coming from off season. We now have to engage a polishing aspect and on Thursday, we shall be flying to Ethiopia where the team will play two friendly matches on Friday and Sunday.”

“Ethiopia is a good team and 95% of their national team players feature in their local league. They beat Egypt in the AFCON Qualifiers and that speaks volumes.” He added.

After the two games against Ethiopia, the Cranes will travel to Zanzibar for acclimatization

“It is unfortunate that we could not secure the friendly game against Malawi and thus we opted for plan B which is going to Zanzibar where we shall just acclimatize to weather conditions in Tanzania. We shall have a friendly match on Wednesday next week before facing Tanzania on Sunday.”

Micho expects the Vipers SC players to join the camp on Wednesday

“We had summoned ten players from Vipers but five will travel with us and they will join camp on Wednesday morning.” Stated Micho

Uganda will lock horns with Tanzania in the first leg on 28th August at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium with the return leg scheduled for 3rd September at St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.
